This dish is very pretty if you use the rainbow Swiss chard, otherwise green chard is fine.
375 grams (12-ounce bunch) Swiss Chard 2 tablespoons olive oil 30 grams (1 ounce) pancetta, diced 1/2 cup chopped onions 1 tablespoon chopped garlic 1/2 teaspoon grated lemon rind Salt to taste
Remove ribs and stems from Swiss chard leaves. Chop ribs and stems, and cut leaves into ½-inch-wide ribbons. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add chopped stalks and boil for 1 minute. Add leaves and boil for 1 minute longer or until leaves are wilted and stalks are tender. Drain and reserve. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry pancetta for 30 seconds or until beginning to crisp. Add onions and garlic and fry for 2 minutes or until garlic is golden and onion is softened. Add reserved Swiss chard and grated lemon rind and cook for 2 minutes or until flavours are combined. Season with salt to taste. |
