Provided by Food Network

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 Tbs. pine nuts
2 large bunches Swiss chard
3 Tbs. olive oil
2 large cloves garlic, sliced and then cut into slivers
2 Tbs. raisins
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat a small, dry skillet over medium heat and add pine nuts. Cook, shaking pan constantly, until nuts are fragrant and lightly browned - about five minutes. Set aside. Wash Swiss chard in several changes of cold water and drain. Trim and discard ends of chard leaves and slice chard into one-inch ribbons.
  • Pour a cup of water into a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, add chard leaves and cover. Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Lift lid and use tongs to turn and wilt chard. Replace lid and continue to boil for four minutes, turning chard again with tongs after two minutes.
  • Drain chard in a colander placed in sink, rinsing with cold tap water to stop it from cooking further. Use a rubber spatula to press out as much moisture as possible and reserve. In a heavy skillet, heat olive oil on medium-low. Add garlic and raisins and cook, stirring occasionally, until garlic is soft but not brown. Add chard, season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring until heated through. Serve immediately.

This dish was a disappointment. The greens were tough and the flavor was bland. I won't be making this recipe again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my greens turned out a little too salty. I think I might have added too much salt when I was seasoning the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my greens turned out a little too bitter. I think I might have used the wrong type of greens. Other than that, the dish was delicious.
