Ingredients:

Serving

2 lb swiss chard ( preferably rainbow), stems and center ribs cut out ( reserve leaves for another use)
1 cup shelled fresh fava beans (1 1/4 lb in pods) or shelled fresh or frozen edamame
1 1/2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 small garlic clove, thinly sliced
2 tsp chopped oregano
1 tsp fresh lemon juice

Directions:

Blanch chard stems: Halve stems crosswise and cook in a large pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 4 quarts water) until just barely tender, 3 to 5 minutes (depending on thickness). Cool in an ice bath, reserving cooking water, then transfer to a plate.
Prepare fava beans: Halve stems crosswise and cook in a large pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 4 quarts water) until just barely tender, 3 to 5 minutes (depending on thickness). Cool in an ice bath, reserving cooking water, then transfer to a plate.
Prepare fava beans: Cook beans in boiling water 3 minutes, then drain and transfer to ice bath. Gently peel off skins (if using edamame, don't peel). Grill stems and assemble dish: Prepare grill for direct-heat cooking over medium-hot charcoal (medium heat for gas); see Grilling Procedure. .
Toss chard stems with 1 tablespoon oil and 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper. Oil grill rack, then grill chard stems, covered only if using a gas grill, turning occasionally, until tender and lightly charred, about 7 minutes. Cut into 1-inch lengths.
Cook garlic in remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring, until just pale golden. Add oregano, beans, and chard and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Transfer to a serving dish and stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper to taste.
Cooks' note: Chard can be blanched and beans cooked 1 day ahead and chilled separately.
