Until the last several years, I can't ever remember eating chard. If prepared properly, it is very good, high in vitamins and minerals and makes a delicious side. This is an adaption of a Rachael Ray recipe.

SERVES 4 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 slices bacon, chopped
1 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 lb swiss chard, stemmed and coarsely chopped
2-3 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
salt and pepper
feta cheese (optional)

Directions

1
In a large skillet, saute the bacon until crisp; remove bacon when crisp and drain all but 1 to 2 teaspoons bacon fat.
2
Add the onion to the skillet and cook for a few minutes in the hot fat, toss in the chard, cover pan with a tight fitting lid and steam until the chard wilts, 3 to 4 minutes.
3
Add the vinegar, sugar, and salt and pepper to taste, serve immediately sprinkled lightly with crumbled feta cheese if desired.

Good recipe. I omitted the bacon because I didn't have any on hand. I will definitely make this again.

Wonderful! My variation: I added some sea scallops at the same time I tossed in the chard — they both need to steam about 3 minutes, so it was perfect. And because of the scallops and my husband's tastes, I substituted lemon juice for the vinegar. I'm sure either would work perfectly. Yum!

Outstanding swiss chard recipe! I have lots of chard growing in my veggie garden so was looking for some different ways to prepare it. I made it just the way the recipe specifies, and it is by far my favorite. My family loved it too.

*Made for Australia/NZ Swap # 31* Loved it - Loved it - Loved it !! We have a pretty healthy chard patch, which we share with the neighbor's burro, at night — and I usually steam it with lemon pepper and salt, and serve with lemon juice, butter, and sometimes -feta. I had some cubed panchetta in place of the bacon, but used all remaining ingredients. It was truly delightful, and I will be preparing this many times. Thanks for posting, Paula !!
