Swiss Chard and Golden Raisins
- 2 1/2 pounds (the average weight of 2 bundles) red Swiss chard
- 1 1/2 tablespoons (1 1/2 turns around the pan in a slow stream) extra-virgin olive oil
- 1/8 pound, 2 slices, pancetta or bacon, chopped
- 1 small yellow skinned onion, chopped
- 1/4 cup (2 handfuls) golden raisins
- 14 ounces chicken stock or broth
- Coarse salt
- 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg, a couple pinches ground or equivalent of freshly grated
- Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
- Coarsely chop the greens of clean red chard.
- Add oil, pancetta, and chopped onion to the pan and cook 2 or 3 minutes until onions begin to soften and pancetta is lightly browned.
- Add chopped chard to pan in large bunches, adding remaining chard as the greens wilt.
- Sprinkle in raisins, pour in broth and season with salt and nutmeg.
- Bring liquid to a boil, reduce heat and simmer greens 10 to 15 minutes until greens are no longer bitter and you are ready to serve.
- Raisins will plump as the dish cooks through.
