Ingredients:

Serving

3 tbsp currants , raisins, or golden raisins
2 lbs swiss chard, stemmed and washed in several changes of water, stems diced and set aside
2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tbsp pine nuts
1 ground black pepper

Directions:

Place the raisins or currants in a bowl and pour hot water to cover. Soak 10 minutes and drain.
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.
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.
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.
