BRAISED SWISS CHARD WITH RAISINS AND PINE NUTS
There are a few recipes that are similar to this recipe but not one exactly like this (this one packs a punch in flavor). I found it in a recipe book that one of Oprah Winfrey's trainers published. I put it in my own book and because I have an embarassingly huge number of cookbooks, I can't find the authors' name. The author noted that instead of the Swiss Chard, this recipe could be made with 2 packages of frozen spinach. That's how I make it because I always have frozen spinach on hand. If you use the frozen spinach, cook it according to package instructions, let it cool, then squeeze out as much of the remaining liquid as possible...I use a thin-mesh strainer to do it. It's so simple to prepare and make - it's hard to believe it's soo low fat. Hope you enjoy!

Steps:
- Tear Swiss Chard leaves into medium pieces.
- In large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat.
- Stir red onion in and saute for about 5 minutes or until the red onion slices are soft.
- Turn heat up to medium-high heat; add raisins and pine nuts, stir to toast the nuts.
- Add swiss chard, give it a couple of stirs to incorporate it with the other ingredients. If you are using the spinach, add it at this point instead of the Swiss Chard.
- Add water and cover the pan so the swiss chard will wilt. Usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes for this to happen. Even if you are using the spinach that you have cooked, cooled and strained of extra water - DON'T SKIP THIS STEP WITH YOUR PRE-COOKED, STRAINED SPINACH - if you skip this with your spinach, the texture will be "gummy." Trust me - I tried it.
- Put individual servings on plates, use salt and pepper to your taste and then, (my favorite part) - sprinkle with balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar.
BABY SWISS CHARD WITH BACON, PINE NUTS AND RAISINS
I was reading in my latest cookbook: "Ad Hoc at Home" and came across Thomas Keller's recipe for Rainbow Chard with Raisins, Pine Nuts, and Serrano Ham. It sounded very tasty. I tried to simplify it a bit for my home use after making it as written. His is very, very good, but I also liked mine pretty well too.

Steps:
- In a small sauce pan heat the sherry until just simmering, add the raisins and remove from heat. Let soak for 20 minutes, until raisins are nice and plump.
- In a medium skillet, cook the bacon until crisp. Remove from skillet with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
- Toast the pine nuts in the bacon fat until golden brown. Remove from skillet with slotted spoon and add to bacon on paper towel.
- Heat 1 ½ tablespoons olive oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the garlic, and gently sauté for 30 seconds, just to soften. Reduce heat to medium-low and add ¼ of the chard to the skillet, season lightly with salt and cook for 3 to 5 minutes to wilt. Add another ¼ of the chard to the skillet and continue to cook until all of the chard is wilted and tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Remove the chard from the skillet to a bowl and cook the rest of the chard as above. If you have two large skillets you can do both batches at the same time.
- When all of the chard is cooked, return it to the skillet and add raisins, pine nuts and bacon. Cook over medium heat until warmed through and the raisins, pine nuts and bacon are evenly distributed in the chard. Season with more salt if needed and black pepper to taste.
- Serve.
- Note:.
- I found baby chard that had very tender stems. If the chard stems you have are large and tough, cut them out of the chard leaves and chopped them into 1 inch lengths. Blanch them in boiling water until tender, about 3 to 4 minutes, drain, then add them when cooking the leaves.

SAUTEED SWISS CHARD WITH RAISINS AND PINE NUTS
This recipe is a lovely way to prepare chard. We often pair with burgers or other red meats. I like to first blanche the chard in boiling water for one minutes and shock in ice water before proceeding with the recipe below. Found in Marthastewart.com
