Swiss Chard with Beets, Goat Cheese, and Raisins

This vibrant Swiss chard and beetroot salad is a masterclass in balancing earthy, sweet, and tangy flavours. This vegetarian dish uses the whole chard plant, combining the crunch of the sautéed stalks with tender, wilted leaves. The addition of juicy golden raisins and zesty lime juice cuts through the richness of the vegetables, while roasted red beets provide a beautiful visual contrast. It is a sophisticated way to enjoy seasonal greens during the cooler months.

Packed with nutrients, this versatile recipe works equally well as a wholesome main course or a substantial side dish for a Sunday roast. The creamy goat’s cheese and toasted pine nuts add a luxurious finish, making it feel special enough for a dinner party. You can even prepare the roasted beets a couple of days in advance to save time, making this an easy option for busy weekday entertaining.

Ingredients for Swiss Chard with Beets, Goat Cheese, and Raisins

  • 675g red beets (about 3 large)

  • 1.8kg Swiss chard

  • 60ml di olio d'oliva

  • 1 large red onion, halved lengthwise, cut thinly crosswise

  • 120g sliced spring onions (about 3)

  • 5 garlic cloves, chopped

  • 2 jalapeño chillies, thinly sliced crosswise with seeds

  • 3 14 1/60g cans diced tomatoes in juice, drained

  • 240ml plus 2 tablespoons golden raisins

  • 60ml fresh lime juice

  • 750g log soft fresh goat cheese, crumbled

  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts

Preheat oven to 204°C. Wrap beets individually in foil. Roast until beets are tender, about 1 hour. Cool. Peel beets, then cut into 1/2-inch cubes. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead. Cover; chill.)

Fold Swiss chard leaves in half lengthwise and cut stalks away from leaves. Cut leaves coarsely into 1-inch pieces. Slice stalks thinly crosswise. Reserve stalks and leaves separately. Cook chopped leaves in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender, about 1 minute. Drain and reserve.

Heat oil in heavy large pot over high heat. Add sliced stalks; sauté until starting to soften, about 8 minutes.

Add onion and next 3 ingredients; sauté 3 minutes. Add drained tomatoes and 150g raisins. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until vegetables are soft, stirring occasionally, about 15 minutes.

Add chard leaves to pot; stir to heat through. Remove from heat; add lime juice and stir to blend. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer chard mixture to large platter. Sprinkle with beets, goat cheese, pine nuts, and remaining 2 tablespoons raisins. Serve warm or at room temperature.
