Ingredients
- 1 bunch dandelion greens
- 1/2 cup walnut pieces
- 1 bunch mustard greens
- 1 bunch collard greens
- 1 tablespoon ghee or coconut oil
- 4 cloves garlic (peeled and minced)
- sea salt (to taste)
Directions
Toast the walnuts in a 350-degree oven for 5-10 minutes, until they release a fragrant odor.
Wash the greens and remove any coarse stems (especially from collards and mustard greens).
Bring 3 inches of salted water to boil, add the greens and boil for 5 minutes uncovered.
Drain the greens, lay on a flat surface to cool, and then chop.
Heat the oil in a large sauté pan, add garlic and cook for 1 minute, stirring so the garlic does not burn.
Add greens, walnuts and salt to taste. Cook until greens are heated through.
