Description
An easy side dish full of nutrients
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium bunch rainbow chard (you can substitute swiss chard if you can’t find the rainbow variety)
- 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/3 cup golden raisins
- 1/3 cup pine nuts, toasted (you can substitute sliced almonds)
Instructions
- Thoroughly wash and dry your chard. Use a knife to remove the tough ends and reserve for another use. {I recently learned that you can actually EAT these. Dumb me threw them away!} Chop your chard into small pieces. Isn’t rainbow chard pretty?
- In a large saute pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add your chard and saute until it is wilted. Meanwhile, dry toast the pine nuts in a small pan over medium heat. Just shake them around for a few minutes until they start to brown. Be careful-they can go from browned to burnt quickly! (If you are using almonds, do the same thing) Add the pine nuts and the raisins to the chard and stir until thoroughly heated. Serve immediately.
