French Swiss Chard image

This sounds so elegant & simple - such a lovely combination of easy-to-grow Swiss Chard & rosemary! Would make a lovely lunch with a couple of poached eggs & some buttery toasted chewy bread (a ha! another poverty meal!) Received in email from gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world. Thanks, Char!

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch swiss chard
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/3 cup raisins (golden raisins especially nice)
2 tablespoons pine nuts
salt, to taste
black pepper, freshly-ground, to taste

Steps:

  • Remove the chard stems and the thick central vein from each leaf. Chop the leaves very coarsely.
  • Using a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium high heat, melt the butter with the oil until sizzling. Add the chard and the rosemary, stirring well to coat the chard with the butter mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for another minute until the chard has wilted to about half its original volume.
  • Add raisins and pine nuts, stirring to combine evenly, and continue cooking until any moisture has evaporated. The entire cooking process should take no more than about 3 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

This recipe was a bit too oily for my liking. I think I would use less olive oil next time.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it would be better with some added spices.

I made this recipe exactly as written, and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt.

I'm not usually a fan of Swiss chard, but this recipe changed my mind. The bacon and garlic really brought out the flavor of the chard.

This Swiss chard recipe was a delight! The combination of flavors was perfect, and the chard was cooked to perfection. I will definitely be making this again.
