WILTED CHARD WITH PICKLED RED ONIONS

Provided by Julia Moskin

Categories     side dish

Time 40m

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 large red onions, peeled and sliced into thick rings, rings separated
1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
2 bay leaves
4 thyme sprigs
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons black or mixed peppercorns, bruised; more for garnish
Salt and pepper
4 pounds chard, red or green
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed

Steps:

  • For the onions: bring a kettle of water to a boil. Place onion slices in a colander, and pour boiling water over. In a bowl, combine remaining ingredients, stirring to dissolve sugar. Add onions, submerging them by placing a plate on top; if more liquid is needed, add equal amounts of vinegar and water. After about 15 minutes, onions will turn bright pink. (Recipe can be made to this point and refrigerated for up to 3 days.)
  • For chard: bring large pot of salted water to a boil. Cut stems off chard, and set aside; slice leaves across into wide ribbons. Working in batches if necessary, boil leaves until tender but not mushy, 3 to 7 minutes. Boil stems separately. Drain in colander.
  • To cook, heat oil in a wide skillet. Add garlic cloves and chard leaves and stems, and heat through, turning to coat evenly with oil. When hot, transfer to a serving dish, and top with some pickled onions, garnishing with peppercorns. Pass more onions at table.

PICKLED RED ONIONS



Pickled Red Onions image

Possibly the most versatile of condiments, pickled vegetables meddle their way into most every culinary tradition, from giant kosher dills at the deli and _ume_ plums in Japan to German sauerkraut and French cornichons. Because they keep indefinitely, a good batch of pickled red onions will wake up Chinese leftovers or act as a companion to a luscious [grilled cheese sandwich with pulled short ribs](/recipes/food/views/351518) . I first served this particular recipe to temper the richness of a refined duck pâté. Easy, cheap, fast: What better combination?

Provided by Govind Armstrong

Yield Makes 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons coriander seed, toasted
1 tablespoon mustard seed, toasted
3 medium red onions, julienned
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
1/8 cup sugar
3 bay leaves
3 sprigs thyme
Salt and cracked black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Steps:

  • Toast the coriander seed in a small, dry sauté pan over medium heat until its aroma is released, about 2 minutes. Add the mustard seed to the same pan and toast for 1 additional minute. Soak the onions in ice water, then drain and pat dry.
  • In a small sauce pot, slowly bring the vinegars, sugar, bay leaves, and thyme to a boil. Adjust the flavor with water if too acidic. Pour this mixture over the onions in a medium, heat-proof bowl; allow to sit for 5 minutes. Drain off the excess vinegar, season with salt and pepper, then toss lightly with the olive oil. Store the picked onions in an airtight jar in the refrigerator until ready for use.

PICKLED RED ONIONS



Pickled Red Onions image

Zesty pickled red onions are sour, salty and sweet. They are a multi-purpose condiment that make for a zippy and flavorful addition to tacos, burgers, sandwiches, roast meats-you name it. It may seem somewhat silly to par-cook them for 30 seconds, but this quick cooking process softens them and makes them more receptive to the vinegar and seasonings.

Provided by Virginia Willis

Time 8h10m

Yield 1 pint

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 to 2 medium red onions, thinly sliced into half moons
1 sprig fresh thyme or oregano
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar (5% acidity)
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Bring a medium pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the onions and cook for 30 seconds, then drain in a colander. Let cool slightly, then transfer to a sterilized glass container with a tight lid, such as a pint canning jar. Add the thyme. You want to make sure there is enough headroom at the top of the jar so that the vinegar solution can cover the onions.
  • In a second medium pot, combine the vinegar, sugar and salt. Bring to a boil and stir until the sugar and salt are dissolved, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Pour the vinegar mixture over the onions in the jars, making sure the onions are completely submerged. Let cool slightly.
  • Cover and refrigerate until the onions turn pink and are seasoned throughout, at least 8 hours. Drain the onions and serve. The onions can be refrigerated in the pickling liquid for up to 2 weeks.

Tips:

  1. To save time, use a mandoline to slice the Swiss chard and pickled red onions.
  2. If you want to make ahead the pickled red onions, you can do so up to 2 weeks in advance. Keep them in a covered container in the refrigerator.
  3. You can add other vegetables to this recipe, such as broccoli, carrots, or bell peppers.
  4. If you don't have white wine vinegar, you can use apple cider vinegar instead.
  5. Serve this dish as a side dish or main course.

Conclusion:

This Swiss chard with pickled red onions recipe is a delicious and healthy way to enjoy this leafy green. The pickled red onions add a nice tangy kick to the dish, and the toasted walnuts add a nutty flavor. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
