Wild Greens

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

    Thoroughly wash the wild greens under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Chop any large leaves into smaller pieces.

  2. 2

    Boil the Greens

    In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the washed greens to the boiling water and cook for about 5-7 minutes until they are tender.

  3. 3

    Drain and Season

    Once the greens are cooked, drain them in a colander. Return them to the pot and drizzle with olive oil and lemon juice. Add salt to taste.

  4. 4

    Serve

    Toss the greens gently to combine the flavors and serve warm or at room temperature.
