Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the pine nuts to the skillet and toast, stirring frequently, until lightly golden brown and fragrant. Be vigilant, as they can burn quickly. (Cook time: 2-3 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. (Cook time: 1 minute)

04

Step

Add the chopped Swiss chard to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the chard wilts down and becomes tender. (Cook time: 3-5 minutes)

05

Step

Season generously with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to enhance the flavors.

06

Step

Gently fold in the chopped prosciutto. Cook just until heated through, preserving its delicate texture. (Cook time: 1-2 minutes)

07

Step

Serve immediately and enjoy the symphony of flavors.

For a vegetarian option, omit the prosciutto and add a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
To enhance the nutty flavor, lightly toast the pine nuts in a dry pan before adding them to the skillet.
Ensure the Swiss chard is thoroughly washed to remove any grit before cooking.
A squeeze of fresh lemon juice at the end can brighten the dish and add a zesty finish.
