Cold Lemony Greens from Greece
- 1 lb greens (or more of spinach, collards, dandelions, broccoli raab, etc.)
- salt and pepper
- extra virgin olive oil, to taste
- fresh lemon juice, to taste
- lemon, wedges
- Remove any thick stems from your greens (like those found in collards, for example).
- Bring a large pot of water to boil.
- Salt it.
- (You can also steam greens over an inch or so of boiling water.)
- Cook greens until tender.
- It's about 3 minutes for spinach and something like 15 minutes for collards.
- (According to the book -- those things are so tough, I'd have to see that to believe it.
- If you aren't an experienced collards cooker, I'd stick with the easier spinach.)
- Drain well.
- Wrap in plastic or place in a covered bowl and chill.
- They can stay in the fridge up to 2 days.
- If you want to use them right away, plung them into ice water or put them under running cold water.
- When ready to serve, squeeze excess moisture from greens, then chop coarsely.
- Toss with olive, oil, lemon juice, salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
