Buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté is a dish made by draining pickled chard and cooking it in butter. The chard brings a tangy, salty flavor, while butter softens its sharpness; some versions also include onion, garlic, or spices.
To make buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté, drain the pickled chard, rinse it if it tastes very salty, and chop it. Melt butter in a pan, add the chard, and cook until heated through and excess moisture has evaporated; taste before adding salt.
Buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté uses chard that has already been pickled, so it tastes tangier and saltier than a sauté made with fresh Swiss chard. Fresh-chard versions are usually cooked until tender without the fermented, briny flavor.
Rinse the pickled chard for buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté under cool water and drain it well before cooking. If it is still very salty, soak it briefly and taste again; avoid adding salt during cooking until the finished dish has been tasted.
Serve buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté with rice, bulgur, or crusty bread to make a simple meal. Plain yogurt or a mild, unsalted main dish also pairs well, since it balances the sauté’s briny, tangy taste.
Buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté keeps for about 3–4 days in the refrigerator when stored promptly in a covered container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, until it is steaming hot throughout.
Yes, you can freeze buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté, although the chard may turn softer and release water after thawing. Cool it before freezing in an airtight container, thaw it in the refrigerator, then reheat in a pan and cook off excess liquid.
Yes, but buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté made with fresh chard will lack the sour, salty taste that pickling gives the dish. Cook chopped fresh chard in butter until tender, then add a little lemon juice if you want some tang.
Yes, buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté reheats well in a pan over low to medium heat. Stir it as it warms and let extra moisture evaporate; don’t add salt before tasting, because reheating can make the briny flavor seem more concentrated.
Buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté can taste very salty because the chard absorbs salt from its pickling brine. Drain and rinse the chard, or soak it briefly before sautéing, and taste the dish before adding any extra salt.

Buttered Swiss chard pickle sauté is a Turkish home-style dish made by frying pickled chard in butter. Its sharp, salty tang is mellowed by the butter, while the leaves soften and the stems may retain a little bite. The exact balance depends on how boldly the chard was pickled.
In Turkey it can be served warm alongside a main dish or as part of a spread of small plates, with bread to catch the buttery, briny juices. It provides fibre, but the pickling makes it high in sodium. For a gentler, lighter version, drain and briefly rinse the chard before sautéing, and use butter sparingly; it pairs well with plain grains or beans.
