Lemon Garlic Greens Saute

This recipe is so simple i almost decided not to post it, but it's definitely my go-to side dish when i want fast, delicious greens. i like to use collard greens and kale in this, but you could also use just one or the other or mustard greens & chard as well (i wouldn't recommend spinach for this because it will cook down too much). i also like this with red wine vinegar and liquid smoke in place of the lemon juice. be careful not to add freshly washed (still wet) greens to hot oil -- you'll get fireworks.

Steps

Roughly chop the greens and wash them thoroughly.
To a large saucepan or dutch oven add the olive oil , garlic and as much of the greens as will fit.
Once all of the greens are in the pan , cook uncovered for 15 minutes or until greens are tender , tossing frequently.
Once the greens are softened and slightly browned , add the lemon juice and saute an additional 2 minutes.
Serve warm.
