Pot of Greens
- 4 pounds mixed greens
- 2 yellow onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons peanut oil
- About 4 cups chicken stock, or to cover
- Pepper vinegar
- Trim away any tough stems, then wash the greens: Rinse each leaf separately.
- Put all of them in a sinkful of water and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Now, lift them out of the sink and drain away the water and all the grit that has settled to the bottom.
- Repeat the sink bath until you don't see any grit when you remove the leaves.
- Chop the onions and crush the garlic cloves.
- In a heavy pot large enough to hold all the greens, warm the oil over medium heat.
- Set aside about half of the onions and add the remainder along with the garlic to the pot.
- Saute until softened about 5 minutes.
- Add the greens, turn to coat in the oil, and then pour in the stock to cover.
- Bring to a boil and season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat to low, cover, and cook until the greens are tender.
- The timing will depend on what you are cooking; collards can take up to 40 minutes or so, while beet greens will cook in 1/2 that time.
- Transfer to a serving bowl.
- Pass the reserved onion and pepper vinegar at the table for sprinkling over the top.
