Vlad's Very Garlicky Greens
- 5 to 7 cloves garlic, peeled, plus 2 cloves garlic, one sliced, one minced
- Enough olive oil to cover the bottom of a wide saute pan
- 4 big handfuls greens (baby mustard, turnip, chard), picked and roughly shredded
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- Place saute pan over medium heat and then lightly crush 5 to 6 garlic cloves.
- When the pan is hot, add just enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan and add the garlic.
- Cook, stirring frequently until golden brown (3 to 5 minutes).
- Remove from the oil.
- At this point, the greens can be quickly Sauteed for a mild garlic flavor.
- If you're looking for something a little stronger, thinly sliver 1 clove and add it to the pan stirring constantly (burned garlic is not Good Eats, nor is anything that touches it).
- Once the slivers turn golden, add the greens and toss to coat with the hot oil.
- Season with salt and pepper as soon as the greens start to wilt and plate immediately.
- If you're looking for even more garlic flavor, finely mince a clove of garlic and toss it into the greens during the last 30 seconds of cooking and toss the greens to distribute.
- Keep the pan and the greens moving constantly, if you can.
- Serve as a side dish or toss with pasta and serve as a main course.
