It's been a while since I've fixed this recipe from Epicurious but as I recall, we liked it. You've probably used up your greens by now! - Lorna

Wilted Greens

2 large bunches swiss chard, kale, or mustard greens, rinsed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt

Tear the greens into pieces; discard stems.

In a pot, over medium heat, heat the oil. Add the onion and cook for 7 minutes. Add the greens and toss to coat. Cover and cook, stirring once, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add the salt and serve.

Tip: Rinse the greens in several changes of water to remove any grit.

thanks! I made this last night with an addition of garlic and some sesame oil. I also used the stems--sauteed them with the onion. fabulous.
