This is a lovely and vibrant winter snack or appetizer. Cut a few slices from a country loaf and toast. Rub with a cut clove of garlic and set aside.

Meanwhile, finely chop a half dozen ruby chard stalks along with one fat garlic clove. Stir fry in a little olive oil till nicely softened. Pile onto the bread slices and sprinkle on some sea salt and pepper. Add a drizzle of olive oil and serve.
