When mixed greens do not look so good....


Braise them! I discovered, in desperation for something hot and veggie, that you can take limp greens (make sure they are not slimy) and saute them. I was tired after work tonight and had limited foods in my little two room place. (this is my home away from home during the work week). I decided to fry some chic peas and add the greens that I had which were a bit limp. They tasted yummy sort of like spinach and I felt like I had a honest meal.

The trick here is good oil, had some great local oil and nice red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Easy and good. I am not sure what I will do with all my boxed rice mixes and mac and cheese!
