Italian Greens with Sauteed Onions and Garlic image

Where I come from.. it's all about the Italian cuisine! Trust me, you don't have to be Italian to enjoy the food. Although, it doesn't hurt. :) Our town has many family owned Italian restaurants and every one of them have greens on the menu as an appetizer. I have yet to have a plate of greens I didn't like. But, I am all about...

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 bunch fresh collard greens, washed, stems removed, and chopped
1 bunch fresh spinach, washed, stems removed, & chopped
2 lb escarole, fresh washed, cored, and chopped
1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
2 medium white onions, julianned
6-8 clove garlic, peeled & sliced
1-2 tsp hot red pepper flakes
1 tsp coarse sea salt
parmesan cheese, for topping

Steps:

  • 1. In a large pot, fill with water. Bring to a boil. Add chopped collard greens, spinach, and escarole. Bring to a boil and cook until greens are tender. About 8-10 minutes. Greens will be soft, but not mushy. Remove greens and set aside in a strainer to drain excess water. Can squeeze greens to remove water as well.
  • 2. In a large skillet, heat EVOO over medium-high heat. Add julianned onions and saute 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and hot pepper flakes and saute 2-3 minutes. Be careful not to burn garlic.
  • 3. Add greens and toss with tongs in oil. Sear greens about 3-5 minutes.
  • 4. Remove pan from heat, add salt and parmesan cheese, toss to mix. Serve with fresh Italian bread... as an appetizer, or a side dish.

This is a great way to use up leftover greens. I usually add a few extra cloves of garlic and a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little extra spice.
