Ingredients

• 1 1/4 pounds ground pork
• 1/4 cup pine nuts
• 1/4 cup currants or chopped raisins
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
• 2 bunches Swiss chard, leaves cut into 2-inch strips (about 12 cups)
• 1 small baguette, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Heat broiler. In a large bowl, combine the pork, pine nuts, currants, cinnamon, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper. Form the mixture into 20 walnut-size meatballs and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil, turning once, until cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook the garlic, stirring, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chard, 1⁄2 teaspoon salt, and 1⁄4 teaspoon pepper and cook, tossing, until wilted. Serve with the meatballs and bread.
