Swiss Chard with Pine Nuts and Raisins

Sara Jones, Tucson CSA

Swiss chard is often accompanied by raisins and pine nuts in a wide range of dishes. Here is the basic recipe, with much room for creativity. (Think quiche, pasta salad, lasagna, enchiladas…)

Ingredients

• 2 bunches Swiss chard, (you can substitute one of the bunches with spinach), chopped roughly, stems diced
• 1/3 cup pine nuts
• 2 tablespoons oil
• 1 medium onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup golden raisins, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Heat oil over medium high heat, add onion, sauté for about 5 minutes then add chard, pine nuts, raisins and a splash of water. Cook, stirring often, until chard is well wilted. Season with salt and pepper and a dash of balsamic vinegar, if desired.
