Description

End of summer garden greens and root vegetables that really rock together

Ingredients

  • bn collard greens
  • bn chard
  • medium beet
  • 3 carrots
  • 1T chopped garlic
  • 2T olive oil
  • 0.333333333333c raisins
  • 0.25c salted sunflower seeds

Instructions

begin by cooking sliced beets and carrots in olive oil and garlic. While these are cooking, you may want to steam the greens a bit before adding them to the beets. Once all ingredients with the beets are somewhat tender and definitely beet colored, add the chard & collard greens. Turn down heat to simmer and cover for five minutes stirring here & there. When the root vegetables are tender and the greens take on a darker shade of green it is time to add the raisins and sunflower seeds ( I love sweet & salty stuff... this combo is just right!).

Notes

We ate this the other night and It was so damn good. I am not sure whether or not it was noteworthy because of the combination of ingredients or that the produce was picked from my garden 5 minutes previous to being chopped. In any case, it was a mighty fine side dish. And thanks to ascedarleaf for telling me that raisins & greens are good together... changed my life... seriously.
