Warm Greens Saute Recipes

Steps:

• Remove the center stems from all the greens and slice the leaves into 1/2-inch ribbons. Pour the olive oil into a large Dutch oven set over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion and garlic and saute until tender and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the ribbons of mustard greens, turnip greens and kale in batches, adding the next batch as the one prior wilts down. Once those three greens are added to the pot, pour in the broth and cook 15 minutes. Then add the ribbons of Swiss chard and cover with a lid. Let simmer 5 more minutes. Taste for seasoning. Spoon the greens into a large serving dish.

Steps:

• Cook honey and balsamic together over medium-high heat in a large saute pan, about 5 minutes. Toast walnuts in a small skillet; set aside to cool.
• Pile greens on a platter. Stir mustard into balsamic-honey dressing, then whisk in about 1 cup extra-virgin olive oil; pour over greens. Season greens with salt and pepper and garnish with walnuts, pomegranate seeds, shavings of Parmesan, and shallot.

Steps:

• Rinse greens well, transferring from one sink of cold water to another, until water is clear and all sediment is removed from leaves.
• Tear or cut leaves away from tough stems and discard. Discard old or yellowed leaf sections. The stems and old leaves can cause the greens to be bitter. Coarsely chop leaves.
• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Cook garlic, jalapeno, and pepper flakes in oil briefly, then add greens, a few handfuls at a time. Cook down each batch until leaves are just beginning to wilt (soften) before adding another handful. Add all greens to skillet in this manner.
• Stir in vinegar and salt. Cover and cook until just tender, 2 to 10 minutes, depending on the type of greens and your preference.
• Serve as a side dish (or a meal) with cornbread.

Steps:

• Remove the center stems from the cleaned greens, and slice the leaves into 1/2-inch ribbons.
• Pour the oil into a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Once it's hot, add the onion and garlic, and sauté until tender and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in the ribbons of mustard and turnip greens and kale in batches, adding the next batch as the one prior wilts down. Once all the greens are added to the pot, pour in the broth and cook for 10 minutes. Then add the ribbons of Swiss chard, and cover with a lid. Let simmer for 5 more minutes. Taste for seasoning, and add the lemon juice. Spoon the vegetables into a large serving bowl.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add shallots and garlic. Cook, stirring often, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add red pepper flakes; stir 1 minute. Add kale stems; sauté for 4 minutes. Add leaves and cook, tossing often, until crisp-tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in apple cider vinegar. Add butter; toss until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Roughly chop the greens and wash them thoroughly.
• 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).
• Once all of the greens are in the pan, cook uncovered for 15 minutes or until greens are tender, tossing frequently.
• Once the greens are softened and slightly browned, add the lemon juice and saute an additional 2 minutes.
• Serve warm.
