Garlic Sautéed Braising Greens

Welcome to SUMMER! It is the beginning of what I like to call "Food Heaven." So many wonderful vegetables come into season, really opening the door to some wonderful flavors. Summer is simple and fresh! This, our first delivery week, will include a smathering of different braising greens. This greens may include, kale, mustard, escarole, chards, etc.. These hearty greens can be cooked any number of ways. These greens are referred to as braising greens because many cooks choose to braise (slow cook with liquid) these greens to wilt them and help cut some of their bitterness. One of my favorite ways to cook these greens is with a ton of garlic. :) Here is one of my favorite quick recipes for cooking these greens. Simple, Simple..

Ingredients

• 2 TBsp of Olive Oil
• 2 Bunches of Braising Greens, washed, and roughly chopped (You may choose to chop the stem and add if you like
• 2-3 Cloves of fresh garlic, Spring garlic is available now, all the flavor of garlic, slightly milder
• 1/8 of a cup of broth or water, I use vegetable or chicken broth
• Enough course salt to taste. I use kosher salt, none of that iodized stuff...
• A few drops of sesame oil to bring out a nice flavor

Directions

This is so easy! Enjoy

1. Heat a medium sized saute pan over med-high heat. Add the garlic and saute until tender, about 1 minute.
2. Add the greens a handful at a time, stirring for a minute or two while the leaves begin to wilt.
3. Add the stock or water, allow everything to steam together until the greens are tender
4. Season with salt to taste, and add a few drops of sesame oil

This will feed 4, half the recipe for 2.. This is great, serve with some nice BBQ Pork Tenderloin and some rice. Welcome to "Food Heaven!!!"

Your Garlic Sauteed Braising Greens looks appetizing. Yes, I agree they are good, not to mention healthy side dish to any barbecued main dish. I will cook this in the coming weekend. I have loads of garlic at home and although they do not spoil easily, I would like to use them now that they are in abundance.
