Sauteed Swiss Chard with Raisins and Pine Nuts
This is a Martha Stewart recipe. Click here to view it at the source.
Ingredients
2 bunches (about 1 1/2 pounds total) Swiss chard, stalks cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces, leaves torn into 2-inch pieces (keep stalks and leaves separate)
2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/3 cup golden raisins
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Directions
Wash chard, leaving some water clinging to stalks and leaves; set aside. In a large saucepan with a lid, toast the pine nuts over medium-high heat, shaking pan to brown evenly, 2 to 4 minutes. Remove from pan; set aside.
In same saucepan, heat oil over medium-high. Add stalks, and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add leaves, raisins, and garlic. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until tender, 6 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Pull lid back slightly, and tilt pan to pour off water. Stir in vinegar and pine nuts; season with salt and pepper. Serve.
Market News
I apologize for the repeat pictures and recipe. I’m sending this message from a mobile device once again. It’s not too difficult to do and it is also not difficult to place your order from such a device. So even if you are sitting under an oak tree in a truck bed, as I am, you can still place your order for local groceries, assuming you have signal.
Happy 4th! Don’t forget to pick up local ingredients for that midsummer picnic. There are meat and vegetable options for the grill including summer squash. There are also still cool season vegetables for nutrient rich side dishes.
