These would be great as an accompaniment to grilled meats, in wraps or salad, or topping a burger or tacos.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 bunch Swiss chard stems, leaves removed
- 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
- 1 cup distilled white vinegar
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon celery seed
- 2–3 tablespoons sriracha
Instructions
- Place swiss chard stems and red onion in a mason jar or other vessel with a tight-fitting lid. Cut swiss chard stems to fit into mason jar as appropriate.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the vinegar, sugar, and salt until fully dissolved. Stir in sriracha and celery seed, and then pour over the swiss chard and onions.
- Cover jar with a tight-fitting lid and store in refrigerator for a couple days before using. Will last for a few weeks, kept refrigerator.
- Use pickled swiss chard stems as toppings for tacos, sandwiches, as an accompaniment for rich meat dishes, or anywhere else a pickle seems appropriate. I recommend cutting the swiss chard stems into bite-sized pieces before serving.
