SAUTEED SWISS CHARD WITH BACON



Sauteed Swiss Chard With Bacon image

Here's an easy, quick and savory recipe for Swiss chard from zany, excellent Chef Anne Burrell. It's one of my favorites! Chard is one of the super leafy greens packed with minerals and vitamins as well as a healthy dose of fiber. It tastes a lot like spinach with a slightly stronger taste, depending on the cooking method. Use regular olive oil, not virgin, for best flavor. Reduce the amount of bacon if desired.

SAUTEED SWISS CHARD WITH SHALLOTS AND ALMONDS



Sauteed Swiss Chard with Shallots and Almonds image

There are lots of textures in this simple dish. We cook the chard stems first, since they need a little more time than the leaves to get tender (but not too long, so they retain some bite). Then we stir in the leaves, a fistful at a time, until tender. We top the chard with crunchy almonds and a drizzle of olive oil, which gives it a silky finish. If you have some on hand, toss in some dried cherries for a sweet note.

Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 1/4 pounds Swiss chard
1/3 cup slivered almonds
2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
2 large shallots, thinly sliced
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon or more cider vinegar

Steps:

  • Prepare the Swiss chard by stripping the leaves from the stems with a knife. Slice the stems on a slight diagonal about 1/2 inch thick. Loosely arrange the leaves and chop into large pieces.
  • Toast the almonds in a large skillet over medium heat without oil, shaking the pan occasionally, until the almonds are lightly browned and aromatic, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour them out of the pan to stop them from cooking and set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in the same skillet and increase the heat to medium high. Add the shallots and chard stems and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and browned, about 6 minutes. If the skillet begins to brown too quickly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add a handful of the chard leaves and a little salt, stirring until they wilt; continue adding leaves, seasoning lightly and wilting, until all the leaves are wilted.
  • Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the vinegar and some additional olive oil, top with the almonds and sprinkle with dried cherries if using.
  • 6th ingredient - dried cherries, golden raisins, diced apricots
