Ingredients

  • 2 thin slices (1 1/2 ounces) pancetta, diced

  • 2 medium shallots, thinly sliced

  • 1 pound chard, stems and leaves separated, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon fresh thyme, chopped

  • 1/4 cup water 

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice 

  • 2 tablespoons toasted walnuts, chopped

  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

 

Directions

  • Add pancetta to a Dutch oven. While stirring, cook over medium heat, until it begins to brown, 4-6 minutes. Transfer the cooked pancetta to a plate lined with paper towels using a slotted spoon.

  • Cook the shallots, chard stems, and thyme in the pancetta pan drippings, stirring, until the shallots begin to brown, 4-5 minutes. Stir in the chard leaves, water, and lemon juice. Cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Cover and cook an additional 2-4 minutes, until tender.

  • Remove the cooked chard from the heat. Stir in the pancetta, walnuts, and pepper.
