Swiss Chard, one of the most popular vegetables in a Mediterranean kitchen, is also nutritious – second to spinach, and is available throughout the year at most supermarkets. The leafy green is sauteed with salty prosciutto, sweet currants and diced tomatoes for a savory and quick side dish to compliment your favorite chicken, pork or fish entree.
