Ingredients

    3 bunches of Swiss Chard, any color
    1 bunch of Collard Greens
    2 bunches of Kale
    1 head of garlic, peeled and chopped
    2T Organic Olive Oil
    1T each: Kosher Salt and Freshly Ground Pepper
    1T Cider Vinegar
    Pinch of Red Pepper Flakes (Optional)

Directions

1. Wash all greens thoroughly. Stem and chop. This step takes a bit of time, but once you stem the large leaves, you can stack them, roll them, and cut into chiffonade. This makes the whole process much faster.

2. Heat oil in a LARGE heavy pot over medium heat (Le Creuset works great). Add chopped garlic and pepper flakes. Saute until garlic begins to brown lightly.

3. Add Greens to pot and turn with tongs to coat with oil. Add as many greens as will fit into the pot. If they don't all fit, add more as they wilt. Add salt and pepper to pot, and cover to steam 20-25 minutes. The greens will cook down to approximately 1/5 of their former bulk.

4. Add Cider Vinegar to pot and toss. Serve hot!! :)
