Ingredients

4 rashers (bacon), cut into lardons
1/2 of a large onion
1 bunch Red Swiss Chard, cleaned, stalks trimmed
salt and pepper to taste
2 Roma tomatoes, sliced in to sixths

Directions

1

The fat is rendered out slowly, then the onions cook in the flavourful fat, this is the beginning of baconization. Reserve the crisped bacon.
2

Layer the stems of the chard first as they need a little longer cooking time to become tender. Season the golden onions and stems with salt and pepper.
3

Add the leaves of the swiss chard, a tiny pinch of salt, then the tomatoes. Cover and wilt the greens and warm the tomatoes through.
