Greetings!

 
Leafy greens, like kale, Swiss chard, collards, spinach, and mustard greens, are some of the simplest and tastiest things you can cook.  They also happen to be at their seasonal peak right now, and are extra sweet and delicious.
 
Below, you'll find links to a basic recipe for sautéed greens with garlic, which will work for any kind of greens you buy.  (Sautéeing, by the way, is just cooking food in a frying pan with a little oil.)  You'll also find Step-By-Step guides for how to prep, wash, dry, and store leafy greens.  (The methods are similar to those for lettuces.)
 
There's an incredible selection of greens available now at local farmers markets, so be sure to pick some up!  And, on that note, if you happen to be at the Greenmarket in Union Square (NYC) on Fridays, there's a good chance you'll find me giving cooking demos for how to prepare simple veggie dishes, like sautéed greens.  Check out our website, follow us on Twitter, and become a fan on Facebook for updates and more info on where to find The Kitchenista!


Cheers!
