Swiss Chard with Currants and Pine Nuts Recipe

Directions:

1. Place the raisins or currants in a bowl and pour hot water to cover. Soak 10 minutes and drain.
2. Fill a bowl with ice and water. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to boil and add the chard. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until just tender. Transfer to the bowl of ice water and let sit for a few minutes. Drain and squeeze out as much water as you can. Chop coarsely.
3. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, non-stick skillet. Add the chard stems and cook 3-5 minutes until tender. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring, until they begin to color, 2-3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, about a minute.
4. Add the chopped greens and raisins/currants and toss; heat through 2 minutes. Season to taste with black pepper and serve, or allow to cool and serve at room temperature.
