Ingredients:

• 3 cups Rainbow chard

• 1 strip Bacon, medium diced

• ¼ onion (about ½ cup) Yellow onion, sliced

• 1 tsp. Brown sugar

• 1 Tbs. Apple cider vinegar

• Kosher salt

• To taste

Procedure:

1. Remove the stems from the chard and roughly chop the greens into loosely packed 3 cups.

2. Put a sauté pan over medium high heat and begin to cook bacon.

3. As the bacon renders out some of its fat, add the onions to the pan. Cook until bacon gets crisp and onions take on some golden brown color.

4. Add the chard greens to the pan, sprinkle with a little kosher salt to release moisture, and toss the greens.

5. Just as the greens begin to wilt, add brown sugar and apple cider vinegar.

6. Toss the greens once more and remove from heat. Serve hot as a great accompaniment to grilled or smoked meats or macaroni and cheese.
