Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 6

3/4 pound (about 1/2 large bunch) Swiss chard, washed well and drained
1/2 onion, chopped fine
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons golden raisins, chopped fine
6 Kalamata or other large brine-cured black olives, pitted and chopped fine

Add stems, 2 tablespoons water, raisins, and salt to taste and cook, covered, over moderately low heat until stems are softened, about 5 minutes.

Remove lid and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of liquid is evaporated and leaves are tender.
