Ingredients

  • olive oil, enough to lightly coat pan
  • 1 cup bacon, diced
  • 2 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 1 pinch crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 bunch swiss chard, stems removed and cut into 1/2-inch lengths, leaves cut into 1 1/2-inch lengths
  • 1/2 cup chicken or 1/2 cup vegetable stock
  • kosher salt, to taste

Method

  • Coat a large saute pan lightly with olive oil and add the diced bacon, garlic, and crushed red pepper.
  • Bring the pan to medium-high heat. When the garlic has turned a lovely golden brown, remove from the pan and discard.
  • At this point the bacon should start to become brown and crispy. Add the Swiss chard stems and the stock and cook until the stock has mostly evaporated.
  • Add the Swiss chard leaves and saute until they are wilted. Season with salt and serve.
