Basic Greens Recipe

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
• 2 pounds tender greens ? spinach, Swiss chard, mizuna, mustard, turnip or collards, washed well and stemmed, chopped
• Salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in a large, heavy skillet or Dutch oven. Add garlic and stir until it begins to turn golden. Add the greens and cover, stirring occasionally. Cook until completely wilted, 5 to 10 minutes. (Longer for collard greens.)

Season to taste and serve warm. Add pepper sauce or lemon to taste.
