SWISS CHARD SAUTEED WITH LIME

Steps:

• Chop the chard stems into 1/2-inch pieces. Stack the chard leaves, roll them tightly into a cylinder, and chop into 1/2-inch strips; chop the strips into halves.
• Heat about half the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook chopped chard stems in hot oil until hot, about 1 minute. Stir the chard leaves with the stems; cook and stir together 1 minutes more. Drizzle remaining olive oil over the mixture and stir to coat. Continue cooking and stirring until the leaves are nearly wilted, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and immediately sprinkle kosher salt and squeeze lime half over the chard. Stir to season evenly.

• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook the raisins and pine nuts in the hot oil until the pine nuts turn golden, about 5 minutes. Add the chard, season with salt and pepper, and continue cooking while stirring constantly until the chard is hot, about 2 minutes.

SWISS CHARD RICE WITH SPICY CHILI SAUCE

Steps:

• To make stock, boil 3 cups of water and add the sea kelp. Remove from the heat and let it sit for 10 minutes for the flavor to release. Reserve 2 cups of stock.
• In a heavy bottom pot, heat the sesame oil over medium heat, add the Swiss chard and saute until soft. Add the rinsed rice and continue to saute for 2 more minutes. Pour the reserved 2 cups of sea kelp stock into the pot. Let it boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 15-20 minutes, covered.
• Remove from heat and let it sit for another 5 minutes so the remaining heat inside the pot will finish the job. Fluff the rice and chard with a fork.
• Meanwhile, make the chili topping sauce by combining the remaining ingredients.
• To serve, spoon the rice in a bowl, top with the sauce, and mix all together to incorporate the rice with the sauce. Serve warm.
