This is a nice alternative for those greens i dread ever so much. The raisins add a sweetness that isn't often a combo with greens so i appreciate the contrast.
and uhhh don't forget to wash the swiss chard WELL...even if it looks really really really clean. (not that i've got grit between my teeth or anything)
