This recipe makes a full flavoured side dish for just about any main. Full of colour, fresh herbs and incredibly nutritious Swiss Chard, making this a regular event in the kitchen is a must!

Ingredients:

1 bunch Swiss chard

1 beet

1/2 onion

1 clove garlic

1 green onion

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

2 slices organic nitrite free bacon

2 tsp fresh chopped parsley

 Method:

Cut your beet into quarters and place into boiling water for about 3-5 minutes to soften for chopping. Chop the Swiss chard and parsley, rinse and spin dry.

Roughly chop the onion and dice your bacon, add to a large saucepan and cook until onion starts to become translucent. When the beet has done boiling, run it under cold water so that you can handle it. Peel and slice into bite sized sticks. Add to saucepan and simmer for 2 minutes with bacon/onion mixture.

Toss in the chard, garlic, green onion and apple cider vinegar. Cover and let soften for about 5 minutes, tossing the mixture occasionally.

Serve aside a lovely grass fed steak!
