SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS WITH GARLIC



Sauteed Collard Greens with Garlic image

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.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 teaspoon crushed red-pepper flakes
2 heads collard greens (about 1 pound each), tough stems and ribs removed, leaves coarsely chopped
Coarse salt
1/2 cup water

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.

SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS WITH GARLIC, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch collard greens
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1/2 red or green bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper

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.

SAUTéED BEET GREENS WITH GARLIC AND OLIVE OIL



Sautéed Beet Greens with Garlic and Olive Oil image

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.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Time 20m

Yield Serves 2 to 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 pound beet greens (2 large or 3 small bunches)
Salt
1 to 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, to taste
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes (optional)
Freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you stem the greens and wash the leaves in 2 rinses of water. When the water comes to a boil, add 1 tablespoon of salt and the greens. Blanch for 2 minutes, until tender. Transfer immediately to a bowl of ice water, then drain and squeeze the water out from its leaves. Chop coarsely.
  • Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet. Add the garlic and hot red pepper flakes (if using) and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant and translucent, 30 to 60 seconds. Stir in the greens. Stir for a couple of minutes, until the greens are nicely seasoned with garlic and oil. Season with salt and pepper, remove from the heat, and serve.

SAUTEED MUSTARD GREENS WITH GARLIC

Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 large garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 1/2 lb mustard greens (2 bunches), stems and center ribs discarded and leaves halved
1/2 cup water

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.
