Sautéed Swiss Chard with Bacon
A simple and healthy recipe perfect for eating more vegetables. It is ideal as a light dinner or as a quick starter.
Ingredients
- 500 g Swiss chard
- 250 g Bacon
- 5 Tomatoes
- 1 Onion
- 2 Garlic cloves
- 1 Pinch of paprika
- 1 Lemon
- Olive Oil
- Salt
- Pepper
Instructions
- First of all, we will cook the chard. To do this, we put a pot with water and bring it to boil. As soon as it starts to boil, add a teaspoon of salt, a dash of oil, and the lemon juice (this will help to remove the bitter touch of the chard).
- Add the chard, previously washed and cut into bite size pieces.We cook between 20-25 minutes, until they are tender.When they are cooked, remove from the water and drain well. Set aside.
- Peel the onion and chop it finely. The same with the garlic. Put a dash of oil in a frying pan and, when it is hot, fry it over medium-low heat.
- Meanwhile, we are going to wash and grate the tomatoes. Set aside.When the onion starts to become transparent, add the bacon strips. Cook until the onion begins to color.
- Add a pinch of paprika, stir well and cook for a few seconds (be careful, as paprika burns quickly) and then add the grated tomatoes and a little pepper.Cook until it reduces, to taste, add salt and serve hot.
