Ingredients: 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil; 2 large onions, sliced 1/4-inch to 1/2-inch wide slices, root to stem; Salt; 1 pound chard, center ribs removed, leaves roughly chopped; 1 tablespoon honey; 1 teaspoon caraway seeds; 1/4 teaspoon celery seed; 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper; 2 teaspoons sherry or red wine vinegar

Oh, that oft-neglected spice, caraway. Of course it loves to dress up rye bread, but caraway can add sparkle to so many more things—carrots, beets, sauerkraut, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and even burgers.

Here we've used caraway in a tangle of sautéed onions and chard. This simple side dish couldn't be easier!

Sauteed Chard with Onions and Caraway — Elise Bauer

You just sauté sliced onions on high heat until browned, toss with chopped chard until wilted, and season with honey, vinegar, a peck of celery seed, and caraway. So good.

Feel free to use spinach or kale instead of chard. Spinach will cook very quickly. Kale may take longer to wilt.

Add chard, once wilted add honey and seasonings:

Add the chard to the onions and mix well with tongs.

Once the chard wilts, 2 to 4 minutes, add the honey, caraway seeds, celery seeds, and black pepper. Toss well to combine and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often.

Turn off the heat and add the vinegar right before serving.
