    Utensils Used
    | 1. Tear Swiss Chard leaves into medium pieces. | 2. In large saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. | 3. Stir red onion in and saute for about 5 minutes or until the red onion slices are soft. | 4. Turn heat up to medium-high heat; add raisins and pine nuts, stir to toast the nuts. | 5. Add swiss chard, give it a couple of stirs to incorporate it with the other ingredients. If you are using the spinach, add it at this point instead of the Swiss Chard. | 6. Add water and cover the pan so the swiss chard will wilt. Usually takes about 3 to 4 minutes for this to happen. Even if you are using the spinach that you have cooked, cooled and strained of extra water - DON'T SKIP THIS STEP WITH YOUR PRE-COOKED, STRAINED SPINACH - if you skip this with your spinach, the texture will be "gummy." Trust me - I tried it. | 7. Put individual servings on plates, use salt and pepper to your taste and then, (my favorite part) - sprinkle with balsamic vinegar or red wine vinegar. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
