Dinner Tonight: Pasta With Sauteed Swiss Chard, Golden Raisins, And Capers Recipe

1. 1

   Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, separate the stems of the Swiss chard from the leaves. Chop the stems into 1-inch pieces. Slice the leaves into 2-inch pieces.

2. 2

   Pour the olive oil into a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the onion, and cook for 4 minutes, stirring occasionally. Then add the Swiss chard stems, cover, and cook for 5 minutes or so, stirring every minute.

3. 3

   Toss in the raisins, then add a handful of the chard leaves. Stir well, and then cover the pot. Once they have wilted, add another handful, cover, and wait until those have wilted. Repeat until all the chard leaves are added. Cook for 7 to 10 minutes, or until the leaves have wilted and the stems are tender. Turn off the heat and add the capers. Stir until well combined.
