  • In a large skillet heat oil; add prosciutto and cook until crisp. Add garlic, shallots and chard; stir to combine. Cook until chard is softened, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add diced tomatoes, currants, red pepper flakes, salt and black pepper.
  • Cook for 4 to 5 minutes until chard is tender.
  • Before serving sprinkle with pine nuts.
Swiss Chard, one of the most popular vegetables in a Mediterranean kitchen, is also nutritious - second to spinach, and is available throughout the year at most supermarkets. The leafy green is sauteed with salty prosciutto, sweet currants and diced tomatoes for a savory and quick side dish to compliment your favorite chicken, pork or fish entree.
