Gardener’s Choice Goddess Greens

This dish should be the gardener’s choice with a big bunch of gorgeous greens:

• Kale or chard (with a suggested side of nettle)
• 2 small garlic cloves
• ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
• Red pepper flakes
• Garlic salt
• Olive oil

Wash the greens thoroughly, chop, and set aside. Peel and mash the garlic cloves. Heat the olive oil in a skillet and fry up the garlic and the pepper flakes. Add in the chopped greens and stir well. Cover the pan and lower the heat, giving it a stir every few minutes. When the greens have softened to your liking, add in a tablespoon of the apple cider vinegar and a big dash of the garlic salt. Stir vigorously three times counterclockwise and pray to the great kitchen goddess who provides us with everything we have. Remove from the heat. Lift the lid and add a half teaspoon of red pepper flakes. Serve this goddess-blessed dish of greens to people who claim to not like veggies or greens and you will delight and surprise quite a few. Be prepared to be asked for the recipe repeatedly. Every time you share the dish (or the recipe) you’ll be sharing the gifts of the goddess directly.
