[Swiss Chard with Raisins and Almonds]
Source: Gourmet
Toasted almonds contrast beautifully with sweet, tender raisins and earthy chard.
Ingredients
- ½ large onion, sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick (1 cup)
- 2 ½ tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- ¼ teaspoon Spanish smoked paprika
- 2 lbs. Swiss chard, center ribs discarded and leaves coarsely chopped
- ½ cup golden raisins
- ½ cup water
- ¼ cup coarsely chopped almonds with skins
Directions
1. Cook onion with 1/4 teaspoon salt in 2 tablespoons oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium heat, stirring, until softened. Sprinkle with paprika and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Add chard in batches, stirring frequently, until wilted, then add raisins and water. Cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until chard is tender, about 7 minutes. Season with salt. |
2. Cook almonds in remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a small heavy skillet over medium-low heat, stirring frequently, until golden, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle almonds over chard. |
