SWISS CHARD WITH GOLDEN RAISINS AND TOASTED PINE NUTS
1 tbs olive oil
Red pepper flakes (to taste)
3 minced cloves of garlic
1 cup sliced red onion
1 bunch fresh rainbow swiss chard washed and chopped
(any sturdy leafy greens such as escarole, turnip greens
or kale would work)
Hint of nutmeg
¼ cup golden raisins
2 tbls pine nuts, lightly toasted in a dry pan
Salt and pepper (to taste)
Crusty Italian bread
​
Heat olive oil in large pot over low heat. Add red pepper flakes, garlic and onions. Cook until translucent.
Add greens and a hint of nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Allow to wilt. Add a little water or broth if needed. Cover and bring up to a simmer until greens are cooked down, and there is plenty of “pot liquor” juices in the pan. Approximately 10 mins.
​
Toss in raisins, and cook through. Place in serving dish, and sprinkle pine nuts on top.
Can be served as a side dish or light summer supper. Serve with crusty Italian bread to mop up juices.
