Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 tablespoons olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, sliced
1 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1/2 cup water
2 1/2 pounds collard or mustard greens, about 2 large bunches, woody stems removed and washed

SAUTéED GREENS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA FOR TWO



Sautéed Greens With Smoked Paprika for Two image

Soft slivers of garlic and shallots and a dash of smoked paprika give this verdant side dish its complexity and charm. You can make it with any greens you have on hand. Softer spinach and chard make for a silkier dish, while sturdy kale and collard greens give it more heft. Just adjust the cooking time as needed to make sure your greens are thoroughly tender.

Categories     vegetables, main course

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 small bunch greens, such as kale, chard, spinach or mustard greens, torn into bite-size pieces (about 6 cups)
1/4 cup turkey, chicken or vegetable broth, or use water, plus more as needed
Lemon wedges, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Place a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it heat up for about 20 seconds. It will thin out to coat the pan. Stir in shallot slices and garlic, and cook until pale golden at the edges and softened, about 2 minutes. Add a big pinch of salt and the paprika. Give everything a stir.
  • Add the greens to the pan, using tongs to toss everything well. Add broth, and let greens simmer, until very soft, about 3 minutes for tender greens, and up to 15 minutes for tougher, mature greens. If the greens still seem tough but the pan is dry, splash in a little water and let cook for another few minutes.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, if needed. Squeeze on a little lemon juice, if you like, then serve hot or warm.
