Ingredients:

Serving

1/4 cup dried currants
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 bunches swiss chard (about 1 1/4 lb), ribs trimmed, leaves coarsely chopped
2 tbsp pine nuts, toasted
8 3 x 2 x 1/2-inch slices crusty french bread

Directions:

Place 1/4 cup currants in small bowl. Add enough warm water to cover currants. Soak 20 minutes. Drain well. Preheat oven to 450°F. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large pot over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until fragrant and pale golden, about 1 minute. Add Swiss chard. Sauté until chard is wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in pine nuts and currants. Season mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Remove from heat.
Arrange bread in single layer on baking sheet. Bake bread until golden, about 5 minutes. Brush remaining 1 tablespoon oil over bread slices. Top with warm chard mixture, dividing equally. Arrange on platter and serve.
