Ingredients
- 1/2 bunch Beet Greens or chard, kale
- 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
- 4 cloves Garlic thinly sliced
- 3 Scallions, Spring Or Green Onions sliced
- 1/4 cup Almonds sliced and toasted
- 1 Salt And Black Pepper to taste
- 1 Red Pepper Flakes to taste, optional
Directions
- Wash the greens thoroughly in cold water three times to remove the dirt completely.
- Trim the tough ends off, cut the stems into about 1/4 inch slices.
- Coarsely chop the leaves.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
- Blanch the greens with stems into the boiling water until the color is bright green, stirring occasionally, about 1 minute.
- Drain the greens and stems in a colander, then rinse thoroughly with cold water.
- Drain again, pressing on the greens to remove excess water.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Stir in the garlic and scallions, and cook until the garlic starts to turn golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Stir in the cooked greens and stems, and cook until tender and heated through, about 2 minutes.
- Season with salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes if desired to taste.
- Serve warm with toasted almonds sprinkled on top.
- Note: If you want to make 4 serving, just simply double the amount of the ingredients.
