Easy Spring Greens

Easy Spring Greens 

Spring greens are very easy to cook and have a wonderful natural flavour.  No need to waste any leaves that are starting to turn yellow on the edges – they are perfectly fine to eat. 

Ingredients

1 bag Spring Greens
1 – 2 tbsp olive oil 
1 stem of fresh garlic (or a 1 clove garlic) finely sliced (optional)
Salt & pepper

Method

-       Thinly slice the spring greens, including stalks but not the thick stem.
-       Wash thoroughly and leave in a large bowl of cold water.
-       Heat the oil in a large pan, add the shredded greens so that they are sizzling, then add the sliced garlic and stir. 
-       Stir fry for 5 mins, add about 50 ml water then turn down the heat slightly and place a lid on the pan so that the leaves continue to steam.
-       Stir again after about 5 minutes. The leaves should be soft and glossy and slightly caramelised. 
-       Season with salt and pepper to taste.
