About

Chard is for me like one of those people you really like but for some unknown reason forget to invite for dinner. I always seem to eat it in other people’s houses and rarely my own. But it is delicious and not to be compared with spinach, being so distinctive in its gentle taste and soft but firm stalks.

Method

Put the raisins or sultanas in a small bowl and cover with just-boiled water. Leave in the water until it is cold and they are needed.

Heat the oil in a medium frying pan over a low heat. Peel and halve the onions lengthways and then very finely slice them, before peeling and thinly slicing the garlic. Add these to the pan and cook very gently for about 15-20 minutes until they are melt
