Do you know how to cook nutrient-dense greens (such as chard, kale, collards, or mustard) in a flavorful way that people will enjoy? Our simple Sautéed Greens with Garlic recipe is a great side dish that comes together quickly.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
6 cups raw greens (about 2 large bunches)
Optional: 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Kosher salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Rinse and dry greens. Tear leaves off stems, and thinly slice the leaves crosswise.
  2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over moderate heat and add the garlic (and red pepper if desired). Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, just until garlic starts to brown. Stir constantly.
  3. Add the greens (a few handfuls at a time) and toss with oil. Cover and steam. The timing depends on the green and your preference. We cook until just tender (2 to 10 minutes).
  4. Season with salt and pepper.
