Ingredients
- 1 1/4 pounds Swiss chard
- 1/3 cup slivered almonds
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
- 2 large shallots, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt
- 1 tablespoon or more cider vinegar
Method
Step 1
Prepare the Swiss chard by stripping the leaves from the stems with a knife. Slice the stems on a slight diagonal about 1/2 inch thick. Loosely arrange the leaves and chop into large pieces.
Step 2
Toast the almonds in a large skillet over medium heat without oil, shaking the pan occasionally, until the almonds are lightly browned and aromatic, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour them out of the pan to stop them from cooking and set aside.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in the same skillet and increase the heat to medium high. Add the shallots and chard stems and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and browned, about 6 minutes. If the skillet begins to brown too quickly, add 1 to 2 tablespoons water. Add a handful of the chard leaves and a little salt, stirring until they wilt; continue adding leaves, seasoning lightly and wilting, until all the leaves are wilted.
Step 4
Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the vinegar and some additional olive oil, top with the almonds and sprinkle with dried cherries if using.
