Sauteed Greens with Vinegar image

Categories     side-dish

Time 1h25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 quarts mixed greens, thick stems removed (such as broccoli rabe, mustard greens, and spinach)
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 1/2 tablespoons minced garlic
Sea salt, preferably gray salt, and freshly ground black pepper
Red wine vinegar, for seasoning

Steps:

  • Shake the rinsed greens in a colander to remove the excess liquid, but the leaves don't have to be thoroughly dry.
  • Heat a large pot over high heat until very hot. Add the olive oil. When the oil is almost smoking, add the garlic and cook for a few seconds until it is light brown. Add a couple of handfuls of greens and toss with tongs, incorporating the garlic so it doesn't burn on the bottom of the pan.
  • Add the remaining greens all at once, or in batches if your pot isn't large enough to hold it all at once. Toss constantly so the greens wilt evenly. When wilted, season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over high heat, tossing often, until the excess liquid evaporates.
  • Turn greens out into a bowl and let it cool to room temperature, then season with vinegar. Serve at room temperature, or refrigerate for up to 2 days and eat cold.
  • Michael's Notes: The wine vinegar will cause the greens to lose their beautiful green color. You can omit it, but I think it improves their taste.

I love this recipe! The greens are always so tender and flavorful. I usually serve them with roasted chicken or fish.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover bacon grease. Just add a tablespoon or two to the pan before you add the greens.

I've made this dish with both white vinegar and apple cider vinegar. I prefer the apple cider vinegar because it has a more mellow flavor.

I'm not a huge fan of vinegar, but I actually really liked it in this dish. It added a nice brightness to the greens.

This dish is so versatile. I've served it as a side dish, a main course, and even a breakfast hash.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover greens. I usually have a bunch of kale or collards in my fridge that I don't know what to do with, and this is the perfect solution.

Not a fan. The vinegar was too overpowering for my taste.

Simple but delicious! I used a mix of kale and collard greens, and the vinegar sauce was the perfect way to brighten up their slightly bitter flavor.

These sauteed greens were an absolute delight! The vinegar added a wonderful tang that perfectly complemented the earthy flavor of the greens. I added a bit of garlic and red pepper flakes for an extra kick, and the result was a delicious and healthy
