Easy Braised Greens

This is the simplest and quickest way I know of to prepare braised greens. It even won over my dad who was dead set against liking them.

1 Tbsp olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

4 cups braising greens (see previous post)

1 Tbsp water

1 Tbsp red wine vinegar

1/4 santaka chili flakes (optional)

Salt and Pepper

Heat a large saute pan that has a lid. Add the oil and garlic and heat until fragrant. Add greens, water, vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir quickly and put the lid on. Cook until the greens have collapsed and turned bright green. You still want the greens to have a bit of structure to them. If you cook them too long, then they will turn slimy.
