Toasted almonds contrast beautifully with sweet, tender raisins and earthy chard. Ingredients:
1/2 large onion, sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick (1 cup) |
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided |
1/4 teaspoon spanish smoked paprika |
2 pounds swiss chard, center ribs discarded and leaves coarsely chopped |
1/2 cup golden raisins |
1/2 cup water |
1/4 cup coarsely chopped almonds with skins |
Directions:
1. Cook onion with 1/4 teaspoon salt in 2 tablespoons oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium heat, stirring, until softened. Sprinkle with paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add chard in batches, stirring frequently, until wilted, then add raisins and water. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until chard is tender, about 7 minutes. Season with salt.
2. Cook almonds in remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle almonds over chard.
