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.

This recipe was just okay. The chard was a bit too bitter for my taste and the pickled red onions didn't really do much for me.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I would have liked to see more seasoning or maybe some kind of sauce.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The chard was a bit too bitter for my taste and the pickled red onions didn't really do much for me. I might try it again with a different type of greens.

This recipe is a keeper! The chard is cooked perfectly and the pickled red onions add a nice tang. I served it with roasted chicken and it was a perfect match.

This was a quick and easy side dish that was also very flavorful. I used kale instead of chard and it worked out great. The pickled red onions are a must!

I'm not usually a fan of chard, but this recipe changed my mind. The pickled red onions really make the dish. I also added a bit of crumbled bacon for extra flavor. Will definitely be making this again!

This wilted chard recipe is a game-changer! The combination of flavors and textures is incredible. The chard is perfectly wilted and still has a bit of a bite to it, while the pickled red onions add a tangy sweetness that balances out the bitterness
