Preparation

Step 1

Cut stem from center of each chard leaf.
Slice stems crosswise into 1/4-inch pieces;
place in medium bowl. Cut leaves crosswise
into 1 1/2-inch-wide strips.

Bring large pot of water to boil; salt
generously. Add chard stems; cook until
just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Add chard
leaves. Cook until just tender, stirring
occasionally, about 2 minutes. Drain in large
colander, pressing out any water. DO AHEAD:
Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand in
colander at room temperature.

Heat 4 tablespoons oil in heavy large
skillet over medium heat. Add olives
and garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 2
minutes. Add chard and chard stems. Toss
until heated through and any remaining
water evaporates, about 4 minutes. Mix in
lemon juice and remaining 1 tablespoon
oil; season to taste with salt and pepper.
Transfer to bowl and serve.
