Trim leaves from stems of chard. Coarsely chop leaves and set aside. Cut stems in pieces 1/2 inch wide and 2 inches long. Place in a saucepan with stock and simmer 10 minutes, or until tender. Drain stems and set aside. (Stock can be reserved for another use.) Impale garlic cloves on a large cooking fork. Heat oil in a large skillet. Add chard leave and stems. Saute, stirring with the fork, until leaves have wilted. Season with salt and pepper and serve. Yield 4 servings.
