3 tablespoons butter
1/2 small onion, finely chopped
1 large clove garlic, pushed through a press
2 medium tomatoes, seeded and finely chopped
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 pounds mixed fresh greens, such as arugula, chard,
collard, dandelion, mustard, sorrel and turnip, trimmed and
coarsely chopped (blanch collard, mustard and turnip greens
after chopping)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add
onion; cook 5 minutes, until softened. Add garlic and
cook 1 minute more. Add tomatoes and ginger and cook
5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Stir in greens. Mix well, cover and cook 5 minutes, until
wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
An array of sweet, tangy, peppery and bitter greens provides a
mix of textures and flavors. Tomatoes and ginger may sound
like an unusual flavor combination, but it works. Serve hot or at
room temperature.
