Sauteed Swiss Chard With Raisins and Pine Nuts image

This recipe is a lovely way to prepare chard. We often pair with burgers or other red meats. I like to first blanche the chard in boiling water for one minutes and shock in ice water before proceeding with the recipe below. Found in Marthastewart.com

Time 55m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 bunches about 1 1/2 pounds total swiss chard, stalks cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces, leaves torn into 2-inch pieces (keep stalks and leaves separate)
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup golden raisin
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
coarse salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Wash chard, leaving some water clinging to stalks and leaves; set aside. In a large saucepan with a lid, toast the pine nuts over medium-high heat, shaking pan to brown evenly, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from pan; set aside.
  • In same saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add stalks, and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add leaves, raisins, and garlic. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until tender, 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Pull lid back slightly, and tilt pan to pour off water. Stir in vinegar and pine nuts; season with salt and pepper. Serve.
