Chard: Chef Harants' style

Here is a simple recipe for Chard that takes almost nothing from your pantry...

Wash and chop some chard. Separate the leaf parts from the stem parts, chopping all of it. Peel and chop some onions. Carmelize the onions in some olive oil. Get them pretty dark. Chef Harants said "burn the onions". Remove them from the pan and reduce the heat to about medium . Add the chopped chard stems (they take longer to cook), sprinkle with a bit of salt, and cook for a few mintes. Add the chopped leaves and stir. Saute the whole mess until the stems are soft and the leaves are wilted. Remove the chard to a serving dish and top with caramelized onions. Squeeze the juice of a lemon half over it and you are ready to chow down. Serve it with couscous or quinoa.
