A simple and easy way to make Swiss Chard more interesting! This is an excellent side dish for any occasion!
Author: Kimberly Hickok
Ingredients
3 cups of raw swiss chard (this will yield around a cup when cooked)
4 to 6 ounces of pancetta, diced
Drizzle of olive oil
One small onion, diced
A large bunch of swiss chard
Black pepper, coarsely ground
Instructions
In a large sink full of water, soak the swiss chard to remove any dirt. Rinse. Remove the tough stems, lay the leaves on top of each other and coarsely chop.
In a large pan, drizzle a little olive oil and cook the diced pancetta until most of the fat is rendered and the pancetta is nice and golden brown.
Remove the pancetta and cook the onion in the remaining oil. Once the onion begins to soften, add the swiss chard and cook till tender.
At the very end toss in the pancetta and season with some cracked black pepper.
