Serves 4

1 bunch washed, chopped greens (kale, turnip, collards, mustard or mixed)

1 yellow onion, diced

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 carrots, sliced into matchsticks

4 T vegetable broth or water

2-3 T water

3 tsp toasted sesame oil

1/2-1 fresh jalapeno pepper, chopped and seeded or 1/2 tsp dried red pepper flakes

Salt to taste, optional

Methods/steps

Warm a large pot over medium-high heat, add 1 teaspoon sesame oil and saute the onion, carrots and pepper. Cook until the onions are caramel colored, about 10-15 minutes. Add a little broth if it sticks and turn the heat down to medium-low. Then add the garlic and saute for one minute, adding a little drizzle of sesame oil. Do not burn.

Add the greens to the pot along with 2-3 T of water. Cover and steam until the greens are wilted, about 10-15 minutes. Add up to 1 cup of water if you want "pot liquor" and cook an extra 5-10 minutes. Sop up with corn bread.

Add toasted sesame oil to taste and serve.
Additional Tips

Serve over Basic Grits and Polenta for breakfast or Mexican Cornbread.
