Swiss Chard with Olives and Raisins
Looking for a great side dish? Try Swiss chard with olives and raisins—a traditional Italian combination that brings sweet and savory flavors together beautifully.
A little garlic, olive oil, salt, and pepper are all you need to bring it together. The raisins add sweetness, the olives give a salty bite, and those colorful greens make a lovely addition to the table.

- 2 tbsp olive oil plus extra to drizzle on finished dish
- 3 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup pitted oil cured black olives
- 1/3 cup raisins

Directions
- Place the Swiss Chard in a pan without any water; cover and cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes or until it wilts. Drain and coarsely chop. Set aside.
