Ingredients
2 bunches turnip greens, trimmed, rinsed, and chopped into 1/2- inch strips2 bunches beet greens, trimmed, rinsed and chopped into 1/2-inch strips1 yellow onion, diced4 cloves garlic, minced3 tablespoons grapeseed oil1 tablespoon red chile flakesSalt to tastePepper to tasteExtra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
Directions
In a large sauce pan, saute onions, a sprinkle of salt, and chile flakes in the grapeseed oil over medium heat. When onions are soft and translucent -- about ten minutes -- add garlic. Don't let onions or garlic brown -- if pan gets too hot, reduce heat or add a splash of water.

When garlic's perfume is evident, after a couple minutes, add all of the greens, toss to incorporate all ingredients, and cover pan with lid. Once greens are wilted, remove lid.

Cook greens until tender, about 10 minutes. Serve immediately, using tongs to transfer greens onto plates -- give them a good squeeze to get rid of excess water before plating. Drizzle with extra-virgin olive oil.

Serves 2 as a side dish.
