1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2
Make a double layer of aluminum foil about 6 x 6 inches square.

Place the garlic in the center and bring up the sides a little to form a cup.

Drizzle over the olive oil and add the oregano, salt, and pepper.
5
Bring the sides all the way up and twist together to make a firm seal.
6
Place in the oven and roast for 20 to 25 minutes.
7
The garlic should be tender and golden but not dark brown.
8
Open the top so the garlic will stop cooking and set aside.
9
Remove the leaves from the stalks of chard, finely chop the stalks and roughly shred the leaves.
10
Set aside.
11
In a large heavy skillet heat the oil over medium heat.
12
Add the onion and chiles and stir for about 1 minute.
13

14
Cover the pan and cook, shaking the pan occasionally, for 10 minutes.

Remove the lid, add the roasted garlic cloves, and increase the heat to high.
