Inspired by a dish from the Kitchen restaurant in Boulder, Colorado, this quick recipe incorporates pancetta-which, like other cured meats, is a classic partner for chard. Fresh chiles add a spicy bite. Ingredients:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil |
1/2 cup (2 oz.) chopped pancetta |
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
2 fresh red chiles such as fresno or jalapeño, finely chopped |
2 pounds swiss chard, leaves whole, stems and ribs removed and chopped |
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper |
Directions:
1. Heat oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook pancetta, stirring, until crispy, about 3 minutes. Add garlic, chiles, and chard stems and ribs and cook until slightly softened, about 4 minutes. Add chard leaves and pepper, cover pot, and cook until wilted, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes.
