This recipe is so simple I almost decided not to post it, but it's definitely my go-to side dish when I want fast, delicious greens. I like to use collard greens and kale in this, but you could also use just one or the other or mustard greens & chard as well (I wouldn't recommend spinach for this because it will cook down too much). I also like this with red wine vinegar and liquid smoke in place of the lemon juice. Be careful not to add freshly washed (still wet) greens to hot oil -- you'll get fireworks.

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • collard greens1 bunch
  • kale1 bunch
  • lemon juice1⁄3 cup
  • garlic, minced1 tablespoon
  • olive oil3 tablespoons

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Roughly chop the greens and wash them thoroughly.

  2. 2

    To a large saucepan or Dutch oven add the olive oil, garlic and as much of the greens as will fit (you may need to let the first batch cook down a little to fit the rest of the greens in the pan).

  3. 3

    Once all of the greens are in the pan, cook uncovered for 15 minutes or until greens are tender, tossing frequently.

  4. 4

    Once the greens are softened and slightly browned, add the lemon juice and saute an additional 2 minutes.

  5. 5

    Serve warm.
