Sweet and citrusy with a touch of heat, this side dish would also be a great match for roast chicken or pork. Ingredients:
1/2 cup dry sherry |
1/2 cup raisins |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1/2 cup sliced almonds |
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced |
4 bunches swiss chard, center ribs and stems removed, leaves cut into 2 pieces (about 16 cups) |
1 fresno chile or red jalapeño, seeded, thinly sliced |
1 tablespoon finely grated lemon zest |
2 teaspoons (or more) fresh lemon juice |
kosher salt, freshly ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Bring Sherry and raisins to a simmer in a small saucepan. Remove from heat; let cool.
2. Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium-high heat. Add almonds and cook, stirring frequently, until just beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant but not browned, about 1 minute more. Add chard by handfuls to pot, tossing to wilt between additions, and cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
3. Add raisins with soaking liquid, chile, lemon zest, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice. Season with salt, pepper, and more lemon juice, if desired, and toss to combine.
