Servings: persons

2 bunches Swiss chard, washed, thoroughly dried, and stem ends trimmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup small-dice white onion
4 anchovy fillets, rinsed and finely chopped
2 tablespoons golden raisins, also known as sultanas
2 teaspoons capers, rinsed
2 medium garlic cloves, finely chopped
1/2 cup whole pitted kalamata olives, finely chopped
2 tablespoons pine nuts, toasted
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper

1
Slice the chard stems from the leaves. Coarsely chop the stems and set aside; cut the leaves crosswise into 1-inch-wide strips and set aside.
2
Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat until shimmering, about 3 minutes. Add the onion, anchovies, and raisins and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion has softened, about 4 minutes.
3
Add the capers and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant and lightly browned, about 1 minute. Add the reserved chard stems and cook until they start to brown, about 2 minutes.
4
Add the chard leaves and cook, stirring the leaves with tongs, until they're wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the olives, pine nuts, and lemon juice, season with salt and pepper, and serve immediately.
