Ingredients
Directions
1. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Add the chard and simmer over moderate heat until tender, 8 minutes. Drain the greens and gently press out excess water.
2. In the saucepan, heat the oil. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook over moderate heat until the garlic is golden, 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and bring to a boil. Add the beans and simmer over moderately high heat for 3 minutes. Add the chard and simmer over moderate heat until the flavors meld, 5 minutes. Season the stew with salt and serve.

This was so easy and delicious -- light yet satisfying. I doubled the recipe, added some shallots and upped the red pepper flakes. I also cooked the chard right in the stew instead of precooking it and that worked out fine.
