Number Of Ingredients 7

1/2 large onion, sliced lengthwise 1/4 inch thick (1 cup)
2 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

This was a great way to use up some leftover chard. It was quick and easy to make, and the flavors were delicious.

I love this recipe! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The chard is always cooked perfectly and the flavors are amazing.

This dish was okay. I think I would have liked it more if the chard had been cooked a little bit longer.

I'm not a huge fan of chard, but this recipe was actually really good! The raisins and almonds added a nice touch.

This recipe was a disaster! The chard was tough and the raisins were burnt. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

Not bad! I thought the raisins were a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good dish. I might try it again with dried cranberries instead.

Easy and delicious! I made this for a weeknight dinner and it was a hit. The flavors were well balanced and the chard was cooked perfectly. I will definitely be making this again.

This Swiss chard dish was a delightful surprise! The raisins and almonds added a sweet and nutty flavor that complemented the earthy chard perfectly. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out perfectly. Will definitely be making this again!
