Method

  1. Strip the chard leaves from the stalk. Cut the stalk into batons and roughly shred the leaves. Set aside separately.
  2. Heat the oil in a sauté pan and fry the lamb for 5-6 mins over a high heat until browned. Add the onion, garlic, chard stalks and spices and continue to cook for 3-4 mins until softened. Pour over the stock and scatter in the raisins, then simmer for 4-5 mins to make a sauce. Wilt chard leaves through the stock, season and serve scattered with pine nuts.

    I don't know why this recipe hasn't been rated before. I've made it several times and it is always delicious. I prefer spinach instead of chard and leave it to simmer for a bit longer so that the lamb is really tender

    Delicious. No need for the olive oil. The lamb cooks in its own fat. I use spinach rather than chard.

    Found this recipe after a big bag of chard arrived in my veg box. Used beef instead of lamb. I don't eat meat but my girlfriend enjoyed it very much.

    I used chicken thighs and spinich and thought it was very tasty. I cooked it for longer than the recommended time to allow the chicken to become more tender.
