Preparation steps

Scrub potatoes thoroughly under running water and pat dry. Pierce several times with a sharp knife and bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 200°C (fan 170°C, gas mark 3)(approximately 400°F/convection 340°F) on the middle rack for 45 minutes.

Meanwhile, rinse chard thoroughly, drain and trim. Chop leaves and if desired, cut stalks into thin strips. Soak raisins in a small bowl with about 50 ml (approximately 3 1/2 tablespoon) of lukewarm water. Coarsely chop the almonds.

In a small bowl, mix yogurt with flour until smooth. Heat broth in a pot and stir in saffron threads.

Heat oil in a large non-stick pan. Sauté chard 2-3 minutes. Pour in saffron broth and cook covered over medium heat for 6-8 minutes.

Move chard slightly to the side. Stir yogurt-flour mixture into the broth, mix everything well and return to a boil.

Add raisins and almonds. Season to taste with salt, pepper and cumin.

Cut potatoes in half and season with salt. Serve with chard.
