Swiss Chard with Feta and Pine Nuts



This dish has such a nice flavor.  
Toast the pine nuts (about a half cup) in a frying pan.  When toasted, set aside in a bowl.
In a stock pot fry up 2 diced shallots in about 3 tablespoons of olive oil.  Once the shallots are browned throw in a bunch of sliced swiss chard and toss with the oil and shallots (any variety will do).  Let it steam with lid on for about two minutes, then remove the lid so excess liquid cooks off.  Pour in about 1/4 cup of crumbled feta and let melt.  Place in serving dish (careful not to dump off feta and to not get too much liquid in serving dish).  Sprinkle pine nuts over top and serve immediately.  It has a very nice subtle flavor.
