Preparation

Step 1

Remove the center ribs and stems from the chard. You won't need them for this recipe.[4]

Cut the leaves into 2" (5 cm) pieces.

Bring 1/2 cup dry Sherry and 1/2 cup raisins to a simmer in a small saucepan.

Remove from the heat. Let the mixture cool.

Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium-high heat.

Stir in 1/2 cup sliced almonds. Let the almonds cook until they begin to brown, stirring frequently. This should take about 2 minutes.

Add 4 thinly-sliced garlic cloves garlic. Cook for a minute, until the garlic is fragrant but not browned. This should take about 1 minute.

Add chard to the pot. Add the chard in handfuls, tossing them to wilt them to make room for the next handful of chard. Cook until the chard is tender, which should take about 4 minutes.

Pour the raisin and sherry mixture over the chard.

Add 1 tbsp. grated lemon zest, 2 tsp. lemon juice, and 1 thinly-sliced red jalapeño to the mixture.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss the chard to combine all of the flavors.
