Rainbow Chard Sriracha Pickles

Rainbow Chard is undoubtedly one of the most colorful veggies at the farmers market. If your anything like me - you have no idea what to do with them. Luckily, my old pal Aaron Crim sent me a link from Bon Appetite for a really awesome and spicy looking recipe for rainbow chard stems.

First clean and cut up you chard - stack in jars like carrot sticks.

  

Ingredients

• Swiss chard stems, chopped
• 1 cup distilled white vinegar
• 2 cups sugar
• 1/2 onion, thinly sliced
• 3 tablespoons Sriracha
• 1/2 teaspoon celery seeds

Preparation

• Make a mixture of vinegar and sugar, then stir in onions, Sriracha, and celery seeds. Pour it all over the chopped stems, using 3 cups liquid for every 1 1/2 cups chopped stems. Throw it in the refrigerator for a few days, and you've got the ultimate refrigerator pickles.

After 2 weeks, we tried our batch. It has lots of flavor - lots of spice. I would say it had a "beet" taste to it. If you like that earthy kind of taste - you gotta try this.
