Braised Greens and Garlic
Any dark green leafy vegetable will work with this basic preparation. Try kale, mustard or chard; mustard will be more bitter, while kale has a subtle earthy flavor.
1 bunch kale, mustard greens or chard ( or 1 bag of CSA braising mix)
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1-3 cloves garlic, minced
salt to taste
lemon wedges
Wash greens thoroughly. Drain. Chop greens into 3-inch pieces.
Heat oil in a large skillet. Sauté garlic for 2 minutes. Add greens to skillet.
Cover and cook over medium heat for 10 minutes (2-3 minutes only when greens if greens are young and tender), stirring once in a while to coat all the greens with garlic and oil. Sprinkle with salt.
Serve with lemon wedges.
