4 slices thick-cut applewood-smoked bacon, diced
8 cups (lightly packed) roughly chopped Swiss chard, stems removed
One 14-ounce can artichoke hearts, drained, rinsed, roughly chopped

SPICY SWISS CHARD WITH PISTACHIO image

Categories     Vegetable     Side     Sauté

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches Swiss Chard
handful of shelled pistachio
3 large cloves garlic
red pepper flakes
1 tbsp butter or ghee
salt
pepper

Steps:

Add the chard. Cover it for a minute. Stir. Cook it down. Salt and pepper to taste. I didn't cook mine for long. Just until it wilts a little.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender Swiss chard: Look for leaves that are deep green and crisp, with no signs of wilting or yellowing.
  • Wash the Swiss chard thoroughly: Rinse the leaves thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Chop the Swiss chard into bite-sized pieces: This will help it cook evenly and make it easier to eat.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: This will give the Swiss chard plenty of room to cook and prevent it from steaming.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat: This will help to sear the Swiss chard and prevent it from becoming soggy.
  • Add the Swiss chard and cook until wilted: Stir the Swiss chard constantly to ensure that it cooks evenly.
  • Season the Swiss chard with salt, pepper, and other spices: To taste. Some good options include garlic, onion, cumin, and chili powder.
  • Serve the Swiss chard immediately: As a side dish or main course.
