    Swiss Chard w/ Hot Seasoned Vinegar


    Source of Recipe


    cooking light

    List of Ingredients




    2 habanero or jalapeño peppers
    1 cup white vinegar
    4 thyme sprigs
    2 cloves garlic crushed
    2 pounds Swiss chard or collard greens
    1/4 cup water

    Recipe



    Pierce peppers with a fork. Combine peppers, vinegar, thyme, and garlic in a glass jar; let stand 2 to 3 days. Strain seasoned vinegar before serving.

    Remove stems and center ribs from the Swiss chard, and wash the leaves thoroughly. Combine Swiss chard and water in a large Dutch oven; cover and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes or until tender. Yield: 6 servings (serving size: 1 cup greens and 1 tablespoon of seasoned vinegar).

    "Notes: The tradition in most African-American families is to eat slow-cooked leafy greens that are stewed down with a piece of smoked pork, creating the proverbial "low gravy." Here the classic dish is updated with less familiar Swiss chard, which is lightly steamed and served with a homemade hot vinegar. You can store the leftover seasoned vinegar at room temperature in a glass jar."

    Serving Ideas: Serve with the seasoned vinegar.
