For a richer flavor, consider using brown butter instead of olive oil for toasting the pine nuts. A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end brightens the flavors and adds a touch of acidity. If you prefer a more intense flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of regular black pepper. Blanched almonds or chopped walnuts can be substituted for pine nuts.

Prepare the Chard: Place a steamer insert into a saucepan. Add water to just below the insert. Bring to a rolling boil. Add the chopped Swiss chard and steam until tender-crisp, about 2-3 minutes. Drain thoroughly and set aside.

Toast the Nuts and Plump the Raisins: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the pine nuts and cook, stirring frequently, until lightly golden and fragrant, about 3-5 minutes. Add the raisins to the skillet and cook until they become plumped and slightly softened, about 2 minutes.

Combine and Finish: Add the steamed Swiss chard to the skillet with the raisins and pine nuts. Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
