MAKES 4 SERVINGS

- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- 1 1/2 Ib (750 g) Swiss chard, tough stems trimmed
- Sea salt and freshly ground pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter 2 tablespoons raisins

Swiss chard and spinach are often used interchangeably in Italy. Both can be prepared this way, though chard is especially good, as its natural sweetness is complemented by the flavors of the raisins and butter.

In a small, dry frying pan over medium heat, toast the pine nuts, shaking the pan often, until golden, about 3 minutes. Pour onto a plate to cool.

Cut the chard crosswise into strips 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. In a large saucepan over medium heat, combine the chard, 1/2 cup (4 fl oz/125 ml) water, and about 2 teaspoons salt. Cover and cook, uncovering to stir once or twice, until wilted and tender, about 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander, pressing out any excess moisture with the back of a spoon.

Rinse out the saucepan and return to low heat. Add the butter. When it melts, add the chard and raisins and cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard and raisins are evenly coated with the butter and the flavors are blended, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Transfer to a warmed serving dish and sprinkle with the pine nuts. Serve at once.

Buon appetito !

*In a field by the river my love and I did stand,And on my leaning shoulder she laid her snow-white hand.She bid me take life easy, as the grass grows on the weirs;But I was young and foolish, and now am full of tears.[url=http://greatday01.kilu.de]cheap replica swiss watches[/url]

*I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,And live alone in the bee-loud glade.[url=http://lovelygirl.kilu.de]lovely girl[/url]
