Despite the blog title, I do love me some greens and when I'm not making
Kittee's amazing Collards, I like to make something like this:
Kick Ass Greens
- One Large bunch of Greens (I used Rainbow Chard)
- 3 Large Garlic Gloves
- Earth Balance or other Vegan Margarine
- Raw Sunflower seeds
- Liquid smoke (just a few drops)
To start wash greens and get ride of any super tough ends. Mince your garlic and melt a generous wedge of EB in your pan. Add garlic and saute until fragrant and tender. As garlic is cooking, slice greens into thin long strips (I like to keep my stems and just dice them finely, their good for you!!). Once Garlic is starting to brown, add in your Seeds and roast until golden. Shake off most of the water and add your greens in batches, allowing them to cook down before adding another handful. Keep stirring and as they cook add in a few drops of Liquid smoke until that hickory scent begins to fill the kitchen. Serve as a side dish, or add to pasta sauce for a healthy kick.
These are also great is diced finely and mixed with a vegan cream sauce over pasta.
