Description

Adding bacon makes greens appealing to the men-folk in the house! This recipe will also work for collard greens.

Ingredients

  • 5 slices Bacon
  • 2 whole Medium Onions, Sliced
  • 3 cloves Garlic, Pressed Or Finely Diced
  • 6 cups Swiss Chard, Coarsely Chopped
  • ½ cups Chicken Stock
  • ½ cups Parmesan Cheese

Preparation

1. Fry bacon in a large skillet. Remove bacon from pan and drain on towels.

2. Add onion to bacon fat in pan. Cook at low/medium heat for 4-5 minutes until soft.

3. Stir in the garlic.

4. Add Swiss Chard to the pan in batches. Rolling it around to mix up the onion and garlic and to coat the chard with some of the bacon fat.

5. Add the chicken stock. Put the lid on the pan and braise the chard for about 5 minutes until it is wilted and most of the liquid is evaporated.

6. While the chard is braising, chop up the bacon.

7. Add bacon and cheese to chard and cover again until cheese is melted. Serve immediately with some fresh black pepper cracked over the top.

katielouise… sorry for the 3 mitts. it really should be four. I originally had 3 because I missed the low/medium heat and thought it wasn’t in the recipe. Great recipe. Thanks for submitting!

Great tasting recipe (how could it not be with bacon, onions and garlic?). I have never cooked Swiss Chard before. (It appeared in my weekly CSA basket.)

I ended up adding extra garlic (I love the stuff), and an extra 1/2 cup of broth and mixing the chard and broth into some thin spaghetti . Quite yummy!
