- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- Pinch of dried red hot pepper flakes

Directions:
1. Wash the greens well. Chop them into bite-sized pieces. You may want to chop the stems thinner and keep them separately.

3. Add the greens and stir-fry until all the leaves are wilted.
4. Add 1/4 cup water if the pan seems too dry and continue to stir-fry until the greens are done to your liking.
5. Sprinkle with salt, vinegar or lemon juice and serve immediately.

- Add chopped red pepper at the beginning.
- Add toasted nuts or seeds at the end.
- Add 2 cups cooked white beans with a little bit of broth as soon as the greens wilt for a great protein dish.
