1 small clove garlic, sliced
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp water

1. Rinse out the Swiss chard leaves thoroughly. Remove the toughest third of the stalk. Roughly chop the leaves into inch-wide strips.
2. Heat a saucepan on a medium heat setting, add olive oil, a few small slices of garlic and the crushed red pepper. Sauté for about a minute. Add the chopped Swiss chard leaves and cook for 5 minutes. toss everything and cook for another 5 minutes.  Add salt to taste, and a small amount of clarified butter.
