Sautéed Chard with Red Onion

Total time: 15 minutes
   Chard and Red Onion - with a hint of bacon.  Greens at their best!

 Ingredients: 

• 6oz (180gr) chard or Swiss chard
• 1 smallish red onion
• 2 strips bacon
• 1 tsp oil   if you need it to fry the bacon - I do

 Instructions:

• Wash the chard and trim any bad bits.  Stack the leaves together and fold over, the long way.  Slice into thin strips, using both leaves and stems, but keeping the stems separate. 
• Slice the onion.
• Heat oil in a large skillet if using. Add the bacon and fry until crisp. 
• Remove and drain on paper towels.  Remove all but 2 tsp fat / oil. 
• Add the onion and chard stems and sauté over medium heat until onion is transparent and chard starts to get tender, about 8 minutes. 
• Add the chard leaves and stir until the leaves soften and fit into the skillet. Crumble bacon, stir into chard, remove from heat and serve.
