Rainbow Chard and Sweet Onion Pizza

I am always looking for ways to get my daughter to eat more leafy greens. Chard happens to be one of my favorite vegetables. It's similar to spinach with a relatively mild greens taste, and you pretty much prepare it the same way. Here is one of our absolute favorite ways to hide it so my daughter will eat it up.


Ingredients
1 bunch of rainbow chard
2 yellow (sweet) onions
2 cloves garlic
1-2 cups of your favorite pasta sauce
store bought pizza dough
salt and pepper
olive oil
Pecorino Romano cheese

Preheat oven to 400 degrees

1. Heat 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil in a saute pan, chop onions and garlic, saute until slightly translucent
2. Cut leaves off of stems of rainbow chard, chop up only the leaves and add to saute pan, mix in pasta sauce
3. Season mixture with salt and pepper, cook mixture for 5 min, turn off heat
4. Roll out pizza dough to desired shape (not too thin or the bottom will become soggy), place on baking pan
5. Add your mixture onto the middle of the dough, spread evenly leaving 1 inch of dough around the outside
6. Grate cheese all over top of pizza, and drizzle olive oil around crust area
7. Bake in oven for 15-20 min or until crust is golden brown and cheese has melted

Bon Appétit!

    I love chard, but I'm with you, my kids? Not so much:) Top anything with cheese and I think I'd have a better shot:)
