Garlicky Greens

Servings: 2 servings
Author: Lisa Le

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch of fresh collard greens (or kale, spinach, etc.)
  • 6-8 cloves of garlic minced
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse the greens and cut into strips. Use a salad spinner to get rid of the excess water (or else you'll get soggy greens).
  • Set aside.
  • Over medium heat, cook the minced garlic in olive oil until softened and just barely tinged brown. (2-3 minutes). If you burn the garlic, it'll turn bitter.
  • Add the greens and sauté, turning and stirring frequently so that they're coated in the garlic and oil and the garlic doesn't overcook. The greens will wilt down and be a lovely bright green.
  • Remove from pan, then squeeze about 1 tbsp of fresh lemon juice over the greens. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.
