Honey Is Magic

In the days before biology and botany were understood, people thought it was a special kind of magic that turned flower nectar into honey.

Directions

Line baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean up. Place onion slices on baking sheet and brush with oil. Broil, turning often, until lightly browned, about 10-15 minutes.
Place a large skillet over a medium high heat. In a small bowl whisk together stock, honey and vinegar. Add to skillet along with Swiss chard and onions. Saute quickly, stirring constantly until chard is wilted and brightly colored, about 5 minutes. Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately.
Serves: 6-8.
