Swiss Chard with Sausage and White Beans

1 purple Bermuda onion, diced
1 cup julienned, or grated carrot
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 links Linguica (or Chorizo) sausage, ½ lb, cut into ½ inch pieces
½ cup dry white wine
1 bunch Swiss Chard, stems removed, chopped, cleaned and drained
1 cup cooked Navy or Cannellini beans

You can use any color chard for this dish. Heat a few tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and sauté the onion and carrot for about 5 minutes. Add the sausage and continue cooking another 5 minutes or so, until sausage browns. Add the garlic and continue cooking for another 2 minutes or until very fragrant.

Add the wine to the skillet and scrape up any brown bits. In 2 to 3 batches, add the chard to the skillet, folding gently to combine. Allow each batch to soften and cook down, about 2-3 minutes - then fold the mixture together and add the next batch. Sprinkle the beans over the top, salt and pepper to taste, cover, and heat through. Gently toss together and serve.
