SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS WITH GARLIC
Collard greens are normally associated with a long, slow cooking time, but this method requires only 10 minutes of steaming. Sauteing the leaves with garlic first balances the vegetable's bitterness. Pull or cut out the thick stems, and wash the leaves well before using.

Steps:
- Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Cook garlic, stirring often, until golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in red-pepper flakes, and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in collardgreens and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Add water, and steam,covered, until greens are just tender and water evaporates, about 10 minutes. If greens are ready but there is still water in the pan, raise heat to medium-high, and cook, uncovered, until completely evaporated.
SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS WITH GARLIC, PEPPERS AND ONIONS
Steps:
- Remove and discard all but 1 inch of the collard stems. Cut the remaining stems out of the leaves, separating the leaves and stems. Cut the leaves into 2-inch squares. Slice the stems into thin slices.
- Wash the leaves in a big basin of water. Leave the water in the basin or sink and use a strainer to dip the leaves out of the water. Don't wash the leaves inside a colander or pour the water off the container with the leaves inside; this would allow any sand to stay with the greens. Wash the stems separately in the same basin of water, using the same method as the leaves.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Have a colander ready in the sink to drain the greens and a bowl of water with ice cubes in it to chill the greens.
- Cook the stems for 1 minute. Add the leaves, and once they turn bright green, fish out a small leaf to taste it. The greens are done when they taste tender. You can't really tell whether the greens are done without tasting them.
- Pour the cooked greens into the colander to drain. Once the hot water has drained off, carefully put the hot greens into the ice water. Once the greens feel cool to the touch, drain them in a colander again. Drain for about 10 to 15 minutes so that they are quite dry. (At this point, the greens may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
- Put the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions gently in the oil. Raise the heat and add the peppers, and then the garlic. Add the blanched greens and saute until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

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.

SAUTéED BEET GREENS WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL
Beets are available and good year round, but their season is June through October, when they are at their most tender. Look for unblemished bulbs with sturdy, unwilted greens. Whatever type of beets you buy, always buy them with the greens attached. Then you get two vegetables for the price of one, and greens add a whole set of nutrients to the picture, most notably beta-carotene, vitamin C, iron, and calcium. You can often get beet greens for free at the farmers' market because some people ask the vendors to chop off the tops when they buy their beets. This simple recipe (which can be used for any type of green) is great on its own as a side dish, or you can toss the greens with pasta, add them to an omelet or risotto, or use them in a gratin or a quiche.

Steps:
- Mash garlic to a paste with ‚ teaspoon salt. Heat oil in a 5-quart pot over moderately high heat until hot and sauté garlic paste until fragrant. Add half of greens and toss with tongs to coat with oil, adding remaining half as greens wilt. Add water and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, 5 minutes. Continue to cook, uncovered, until greens are just tender and most of liquid is evaporated. Season with additional salt.
Tips:
- Choose the right greens: For this recipe, hearty greens like kale, collard greens, or Swiss chard are best. They can withstand the heat and won't wilt too quickly.
- Wash the greens thoroughly: Make sure to remove any dirt or grit from the greens before cooking. Rinse them well under cold water and pat them dry.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When sautéing the greens, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to steam instead of sauté.
- Use a large pan: If you're cooking a lot of greens, use a large pan so that they have plenty of room to cook.
- Cook the greens in batches: If you're cooking a large amount of greens, cook them in batches. This will help to ensure that they cook evenly.
- Don't overcook the greens: Sauté the greens until they are just wilted, but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooked greens will be mushy and bland.
- Season the greens to taste: Once the greens are cooked, season them with salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings.
Conclusion:
Sautéed greens are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of meals. They are also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. With a few simple tips, you can easily make sautéed greens at home that are both tasty and nutritious.
