This recipe, from my book, What The Fork are You Eating, is a family favorite. Get creative and use whatever greens you have access to. I love the kale, spinach combo but chard, collards, dandelion greens and anything dark and leafy can work!

INGREDIENTS
2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 bunch leafy green kale, stems removed and roughly chopped
4 cups baby spinach, (or 1 5oz box)
1/4 cup water, or apple juice
1 teaspoon lemon juice, fresh squeezed
1/4 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, optional
salt, to taste

METHOD

  1. Heat oil on medium in a large sauté pan. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

  2. Add kale and cook until slightly wilted. Then add spinach and liquid. Cook for another 2 minutes until greens are soft. Add red pepper, lemon juice and salt.
