Braised Swiss Chard With Bacon and Hot Sauce image

For this recipe, the greens taste best if sautéed just before serving, but you can cook the bacon and stems ahead; leave the pan on an unlit burner 'til go time.

Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 large bunches rainbow chard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons mild hot sauce
2 teaspoons light brown sugar
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
6 ounces bacon, finely chopped
1 large onion, chopped
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Remove ribs and stems from Swiss chard leaves. Cut in half lengthwise, then slice crosswise into 2" pieces; set aside. Tear leaves into large pieces; set aside.
  • Combine vinegar, hot sauce, and brown sugar in a small bowl, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Set sauce aside.
  • Heat oil in a large pot over medium. Cook bacon, stirring often, until lightly browned and crisp, 7-10 minutes. Add onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 5-8 minutes. Add garlic and reserved chard stems; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until stems are crisp-tender, 7-10 minutes. Add reserved chard leaves a handful at a time, letting them wilt slightly before adding more. Add sauce and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper if needed.

The bacon was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise this dish was delicious. I'll definitely be making it again, but I'll use less bacon next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had added some more hot sauce.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my Swiss chard turned out bitter. I think I might have overcooked it. Next time, I'll follow the recipe more carefully.
