Simple, Savory Greens
Ingredients
- 1 large bunch greens, any kind, but my favorites with this recipe are rapini, collards, or spinach. ⓘ
- 1 yellow onion, thinly sliced ⓘ
- 1-2 tablespoons olive oil ⓘ
- 2-3 garlic cloves, chopped ⓘ
- 3 oil-packed anchovy fillets, chopped ⓘ
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons dried currants, rehydrated in hot water for 15 minutes, drained ⓘ
- salt and pepper, to taste ⓘ
- 1 lemon, preferably meyer, quartered ⓘ
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to boil. Meanwhile, wash your greens and cut into thin strips. When water boils, add a generous pinch of salt, add the greens, and boil for 1-3 minutes, depending on how tender they are. Strain and use a wooden spoon to force out as much water as possible.
- Set a large saute pan over medium-high heat. When hot, add the onions and cover. Cook, stirring occasionally, until well-browned. Then remove cover, reduce heat to medium, and add olive oil. Scrape up any onion bits that may have stuck to the pan.
- Add garlic, anchovies, tomato paste, currants, and a pinch of salt, and stir until well combined. Let cook for about a minute.
- Add the greens, and stir well to combine with garlic-onion mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve with the lemon wedges.
