Prep the Swiss chard. Remove the stems at the bottom of the leaves and slice them up. Roll the leaves into a cigar-like shape and slice across horizontally into one-inch wide strips.
Cook the garlic and stems. Heat the olive oil in a sauté pan on medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Then, add the water and chard stems and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, until softened.
Add the leaves. Cook for an additional 4 to 5 minutes, until the chard leaves wilt down.
Serve. Before serving, sprinkle with kosher salt, to taste.
