French Swiss Chard image

This sounds so elegant & simple - such a lovely combination of easy-to-grow Swiss Chard & rosemary! Would make a lovely lunch with a couple of poached eggs & some buttery toasted chewy bread (a ha! another poverty meal!) Received in email from gourmet-recipes-from-around-the-world. Thanks, Char!

Time 15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 bunch swiss chard
3 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh rosemary, chopped
1/3 cup raisins (golden raisins especially nice)
2 tablespoons pine nuts
salt, to taste
black pepper, freshly-ground, to taste

Steps:

  • Remove the chard stems and the thick central vein from each leaf. Chop the leaves very coarsely.
  • Using a large, heavy-bottomed frying pan over medium high heat, melt the butter with the oil until sizzling. Add the chard and the rosemary, stirring well to coat the chard with the butter mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, for another minute until the chard has wilted to about half its original volume.
  • Add raisins and pine nuts, stirring to combine evenly, and continue cooking until any moisture has evaporated. The entire cooking process should take no more than about 3 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

I made this recipe exactly as written, and it turned out perfectly. The Swiss chard was tender and flavorful, and the sauce was delicious. I served it over pasta, and it was a hit with my family.

This is my new favorite way to cook Swiss chard. It's so simple, yet so flavorful. I love the addition of lemon zest and white wine. It really brightens up the dish.

This recipe was a bit too bland for my taste. I think I'll add some extra garlic and maybe some red pepper flakes next time.

Not a fan. The Swiss chard was bitter, and the sauce was too acidic. I think I'll stick to my usual way of cooking Swiss chard.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my dish didn't turn out as expected. The Swiss chard was overcooked and mushy, and the sauce was too thin. I think I might have added too much liquid. I'll try again with less liquid next time.

I've made this recipe several times now, and it never disappoints. It's a great way to use up leftover Swiss chard from my garden. The addition of Parmesan cheese adds a nice touch of richness and umami. I also like to sprinkle some crushed red peppe

I love how versatile this recipe is. I tried it with spinach instead of chard, and it turned out just as delicious. The tangy lemon-wine sauce is a perfect complement to any leafy green. Definitely a keeper in my recipe collection.
