Man, it’s been a busy couple of weeks. I’ve been hopscotching around like crazy—from Portland to Palo Alto to New York City and then back to California—and then my mother-in-law landed in the hospital at the same time my sister was visiting from Florida for a blink-and-you-missed-it visit.
But you know what helps keep me sane? Home cooking—with amazingly delicious and comforting ingredients.
Case in point: My classic Swiss Chard with Raisins, Pine Nuts, and Crispy Prosciutto, a Catalan-inspired dish I first concocted six summers ago. It combines some of my favorite things: vibrant rainbow chard…
…sweet, golden raisins…
…toasted pine nuts…
…and the pièce de résistance: crispy prosciutto chips (a.k.a. Porkitos!).
The mere thought of a warm plate of tender chard cooked with sizzling garlic and tossed with pine nuts and raisins makes me weak in the knees, but crumble some crispy Porkitos on top, and pretty much all my stresses and worries disappear.
