My favorite quick method for cooking greens ~ my friend Susan’s recipe for Kale with Raisins and Pine Nuts has turned my my favmily into greens eaters. Susan writes about produce on her blog, Thoughtful Consumption. Here is my adaptation of her recipe.
There are many possible variations of this dish – any kind of green except for collards would work. (As much as I love collards, they’re just too tough for this quick treatment.). I used a bunch of kale plus some beet greens and it was terrific. Slivered almonds or roughly chopped walnuts could sub for the pine nuts. —Lucy Mercer
