2 lbs Swiss Chard, large stems discarded and leaves cut crosswise
into 2-in. strips
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced

gently squeeze out excess liquid.

In a large saucepan, heat oil over medium heat, and cook garlic

Add tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add beans and simmer over moderately
high heat for 3 minutes or until heated through.

Add the chard and simmer over moderate heat until the flavors meld,
3 to 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
