In Season Recipes
Local Sauteed Greens
(like wild winter cress, Beet or Turnip Greens, Swiss Chard, Spinach or Kale)
Ingredients:
6 cups - Greens, washed and roughly torn into pieces
1 - Medium-sized onion
2 tbsp. - Oil
2 tbsp. - Vinegar
1 tbsp. - Molasses or brown sugar
Steam the greens or cook them briefly in just the water that clings to the leaves after washing them.
Drain thoroughly.
Cut the greens coarsely with a knife and set aside.
Chop the onion and sauté it in the oil until golden. In a small bowl,
mix the vinegar and the molasses, then add the mixture to the onion and
heat thoroughly.
Add the greens, mix well and heat again before serving.
