The many-colored stalks of rainbow chard have always looked better to me than they tasted. That was before I came across Martha Stewart's recipe, which uses the Sicilian flavors of raisins and almonds to counter the greens' natural bitterness.
This method works just as well with spinach and kale, and even broccoli and cauliflower. A simplified version, omitting the shallots, nuts, and raisins (and thus all ties to Sicily), is also possible, starting at the point where you cook the garlic and red-pepper flakes in oil.
