Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pounds red beets (about 3 large)
4 pounds Swiss chard
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large red onion, halved lengthwise, cut thinly crosswise
3/4 cup sliced green onions (about 3)
5 garlic cloves, chopped
2 jalapeño chiles, thinly sliced crosswise with seeds
3 14 1/2-ounce cans diced tomatoes in juice, drained
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons golden raisins
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 51/2-ounce log soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled
2 tablespoons pine nuts

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Wrap beets individually in foil. Roast until beets are tender, about 1 hour. Cool. Peel beets, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.)
  • Fold Swiss chard leaves in half lengthwise and cut stalks away from leaves. Cut leaves coarsely into 1-inch pieces. Slice stalks thinly crosswise. Reserve stalks and leaves separately. Cook chopped leaves in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 1 minute. Drain and reserve.
  • Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Add sliced stalks; sauté until starting to soften, about 8 minutes.
  • Add onion and next 3 ingredients; sauté 3 minutes. Add drained tomatoes and 1 cup raisins. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.
  • Add chard leaves to pot; stir to heat through. Remove from heat; add lime juice and stir to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer chard mixture to large platter. Sprinkle with beets, goat cheese, pine nuts, and remaining 2 tablespoons raisins. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This dish was not to my taste. The Swiss chard and beets were very bitter and the goat cheese and raisins did not help to improve the flavor. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was okay. The Swiss chard and beets were a bit too bitter for my taste, but the goat cheese and raisins helped to balance it out. I'm not sure if I would make this again.

This dish was absolutely delicious! I used fresh beets from my garden and they were so sweet and flavorful. The goat cheese and raisins were also a great addition. I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone looking for a healthy and tasty side di

I made this for dinner last night and it was a huge hit! My husband, who is not a big fan of Swiss chard, even went back for seconds. The flavors are so well-balanced and the goat cheese adds a really nice creaminess. I will definitely be making this

This is, hands down, my new favorite way to eat Swiss chard! The beets and goat cheese pair perfectly with the slightly bitter greens, and the raisins add a touch of sweetness that really brings the dish together. I'll definitely be making this again
