Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds Swiss chard
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 thick slices bacon, chopped
2 tablespoons white wine
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Chop chard stems into 1-inch pieces. Tear leaves in half.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic; cook and stir until fragrant. Stir in bacon; cook until browned and crisp, about 5 minutes.
