Preparation
- Step 1
Bring 10 cups of water to a boil. Add chard stems. Cover until water returns to a boil. Uncover, and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Strain in a colander, reserving ½ cup of liquid. Run stems under cold water to refresh. Leave in colander for 10 to 15 minutes to drain. May be prepared 3 to 4 hours ahead up to this point.
- Step 2
Soak raisins in reserved ½ cup liquid for 15 minutes.
- Step 3
In a mortar, crush garlic with the kosher salt to make a paste. Add anchovies and fennel seed. Crush until fairly smooth. Place raisins with liquid in a microwave oven, and cook for 1 minute, or simmer on top of stove until softened. Drain raisins.
- Step 4
In a medium saucepan, combine olive oil with blanched stems, garlic-anchovy paste, raisins, tomatoes and pepper. Cook over low heat, stirring, until warm throughout.
