Sautéed Greens With Smoked Paprika For Two Recipes

Steps:

• Trim the ends off of the collard greens where the stem is thickest. Stack leaves on top of each other and roll together. Cut greens into 1-inch pieces and rinse.
• Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 5 minutes more. Add greens and saute over medium heat, stirring frequently, until tender, about 15 minutes. Stir in lemon juice, paprika, salt, and pepper; cook for 3 minutes more. Serve warm.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the onions, paprika, and cayenne and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook stirring occasionally, until the onions are softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the pot and once the water is simmering, add the greens (you may have to pack them in). Season generously with salt and pepper, cover with a lid and cook for 10 minutes. Remove the lid, toss the greens well with tongs, and continue simmering on low heat, until the greens are completely cooked and nearly all of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes more.
• Taste and adjust seasoning. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve warm.

Steps:

• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it heat up for about 20 seconds. It will thin out to coat the pan. Stir in shallot slices and garlic, and cook until pale golden at the edges and softened, about 2 minutes. Add a big pinch of salt and the paprika. Give everything a stir.
• Add the greens to the pan, using tongs to toss everything well. Add broth, and let greens simmer, until very soft, about 3 minutes for tender greens, and up to 15 minutes for tougher, mature greens. If the greens still seem tough but the pan is dry, splash in a little water and let cook for another few minutes.
• Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Squeeze on a little lemon juice, if you like, then serve hot or warm.

Steps:

• Cook kale in large pot of boiling salted water until wilted, about 5 minutes. Transfer to colander; drain.
