So, you got some greens? This is the easiest way to cook them and takes about 5 minutes (no, really!). Lemon pepper is a spice mix that has lemon juice or flavoring added to a pepper mix. Remember, greens shrink a great deal when cooked so buy more than you think you might need. A standard bunch is good for 2 or 3 people as long as the greens are not the main course.
Ingredients
greens (kale. mustard, chard, dandelion, spinach etc.)
1 clove garlic
lemon, cut into wedges
salt
lemon pepper (optional)
sesame oil (optional)
And...?
Wash greens and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Put a 1/4 to 1/2 inch of water in the bottom of a sauce pan (Make sure you have a lid for it!). Add greens and crush garlic on top of them. Put on a sprinkle of lemon pepper if desired and/or a dash of sesame oil. Stir, cover pot, and turn to high. Once the water boils give the greens another quick stir and turn down for a minute, then turn off the pot. They should be wilted and tender, but not destroyed. Squeeze lemon onto each serving and add salt as desired.
PS. The water at the bottom of the pot can be added to chili, soup, etc. It is flavorful and has a lot of the nutrients of the greens.
