Recipe Wilted Sauteed Tender Greens (Side Dish)

Required Ingredients:

• 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 pounds tender greens, such as spinach, beet greens or Swiss chard, cleaned and stemmed (water left clinging to leaves)
• Salt
• Ground black pepper
• Lemon wedges (optional)

Preparing/Cooking:

• Heat garlic with oil over medium-high heat in a large, nonreactive saute pan or Dutch oven.
• When garlic sizzles and starts to turn golden, add wet greens to pan; cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely wilted but still bright green, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Uncover, season to taste with salt and pepper and cook until most of liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes more.
• Serve immediately with lemon wedges, if desired.
