Lemon, currants, and rainbow Swiss chard combine in this colorful side dish that’s ready in about 20 minutes. Rainbow and red Swiss chard varieties have brightly colored stems that retain their color but darken slightly when cooked, but green Swiss chard can be substituted. Swiss chard has a milder flavor than kale and works well with a variety of flavor profiles. When buying it, looks for firm, fresh looking leaves with a vibrant color. If you don’t have a large skillet with a matching lid, use a flat cookie sheet to cover the pan. Remember that both pans will become hot, so use a potholder when handling both.
