Ingredients
| 2 | tbsp | olive oil |
| 1 | lb | pork tenderloin (cut crosswise into 1 1/2-inch steaks) |
| 1⁄2 | tsp | salt |
| 1⁄2 | tsp | black pepper |
| 1 | small onion (minced) | |
| 2 | clove | garlic (minced) |
| 1 | lb | Swiss chard (stalks cut crosswise into 1-inch pieces, leaves cut into 2-inch pieces, keep stalks and leaves separate) |
| 1⁄2 | c | low sodium chicken broth |
| 1⁄3 | c | golden raisins |
| 3⁄4 | c | Stonyfield Organic Low Fat Plain Yogurt |
| 1 | tsp | balsamic vinegar |
| 2 | tbsp | pine nuts (toasted) |
Directions
Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle pork with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Add pork to skillet and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes per side, or until internal temperature reaches 140° on an instant read thermometer. Reduce heat to low if pork becomes too browned. Remove pork to a serving platter and keep warm.
In the same skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high heat. Add onion, garlic and chard stalks and cook until beginning to soften, about 4 minutes. Add leaves, remaining 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper, broth and raisins. Stir to combine then cover, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for about 6 minutes or until tender and wilted, stirring occasionally.
Remove lid and increase heat to medium-high and cook, stirring, for about 3 minutes or until most of the liquid has evaporated.
Remove chard mixture from heat. Let cool for 5 minutes, then stir in yogurt, vinegar and pine nuts. Serve with pork immediately.
