Orange Braised Chard

Ingredients 

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1/2 yellow onion, thinly sliced

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • pinch of red pepper flakes

  • 1 bunch rainbow chard, washed, dried and chopped

  • juice from 1/2 an orange

Instructions 

  • Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil, onion, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes. Slowly caramelize the onions, about 10-15 minutes stirring occasionally.

  • When the onions are golden brown and caramelized, add the rainbow chard. Toss with the onions. Cook until the chard just begins to soften, about 2-4 minutes. Add the juice from the orange. Toss, and cook another 2 minutes. Taste for salt and pepper. Serve warm.
