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.

I'm not sure if I did something wrong, but my pickled red onions turned out too sour.

I'm not a big fan of chard, but this recipe changed my mind. The wilting process mellowed out the bitterness of the chard, and the pickled red onions added a lovely sweetness.

The wilted chard was a bit too oily for my taste, but the pickled red onions were delicious.

I followed the recipe to a T and the dish turned out beautifully. The pickled red onions were the star of the show, adding a vibrant pop of color and flavor to the wilted chard.

This wilted chard with pickled red onions was an absolute delight! The chard was perfectly wilted, retaining a slight crunch, while the pickled onions added a tangy and crunchy contrast. The combination of flavors was simply exquisite.
