Mixed Greens

Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients:

1 bunch of collard greens

1 bunch of kale

1 bunch of spinach

1 bunch of turnip greens

1 tablespoon of salt

1/4 cup of vegetable oil

1 garlic, clove, chopped

1/4 teaspoon of sugar

cayenne pepper to taste

Directions
Cut the tough stems and yellow leaves from the greens and discard. Gently rub the leaves with your fingers under warm running water. Cut the leaves into small pieces. Fill the sink with warm water and add the salt. Let your greens soak for 10 minutes. Rinse with cool water and shake off the excess, but do not dry the greens. Place the greens and the remaining ingredients into a Dutch oven or heavy pot. No added water is needed, as greens make their own. Cover and cook over medium heat for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes or until the greens are tender. Serves 7
