This vibrant Swiss chard with shallots and vinegar is a sophisticated yet simple vegan side dish that celebrates the earthy flavour of leafy greens. By separating the stalks from the leaves, you ensure a perfect contrast in texture—tender, wilted greens paired with jem-like stems that retain a satisfying bite. The addition of thinly sliced shallots and a splash of sherry vinegar cuts through the richness of the olive oil, providing a bright, acidic finish that lifts the entire plate.

Quick to prepare and naturally healthy, this dish is an excellent way to introduce more nutrient-dense vegetables into your midweek meals. It pairs beautifully with roasted root vegetables or served alongside grilled proteins and crusty sourdough bread to soak up the savoury juices. Whether you are following a plant-based diet or simply looking for a fresh, seasonal accompaniment, this recipe is a reliable staple for any home cook.

Ingredients for Wilted Chard With Shallots and Vinegar

  • 1 bunch Swiss chard, ribs and stems separated from leaves

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 large shallots, thinly sliced into rings

  • 2 garlic cloves, grated

  • Kosher salt

  • 2 teaspoons Sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar

How to make Wilted Chard With Shallots and Vinegar

Cut Swiss chard stems into very small pieces. Tear leaves into 2" pieces and rinse well (you'll want some water still clinging to the leaves).

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add chard stems, shallots, and garlic and season with salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until vegetables are starting to soften but haven't taken on any colour, about 2 minutes. Add chard leaves, season with salt, and cook, tossing occasionally, until leaves are tender and have released some liquid, about 3 minutes (stems will have a bit of crunch). Mix in vinegar; taste and season with more salt if needed.
