Sautéed Greens with Garlic and White Wine
It was a simple Sunday. A day of sleeping in, coffee on the couch, a trip to chinos, an afternoon nap and then dinner made with all of my favorite things.
While I was at Chinos farm stand I honed in on a new green I had never seen before. The farmer’s wife told me they were sweet potato greens! Who knew you could eat sweet potato greens?! Not me but I’m lover of all things sweet potato so I couldn’t pass the greens up.
With nothing more than lots of garlic, lemon juice and good splash of white wine we had a bowl of nutrient rich, alkalizing greens to offset the Brie and prosciutto. The greens were tender, rich in flavor and easy to cook.
You can really use any of your favorite greens; kale, collared greens, swish chard, beet greens or spinach would all work nicely.
