Ingredients

Instructions

  • Heat oil over moderately high heat until just below smoking in cast iron pan. Add garlic and (optional) red pepper flakes. Stir until garlic is golden-brown and fragrant. Remove and discard garlic.
  • Add spring onions and cook over moderate heat 1–2 minutes. Add Swiss chard and spinach leaves and cook, stirring with tongs, until just wilted. Add ½ cup wine (or water) and lemon juice. Cook, covered, until leaves are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • Season generously with salt and pepper then transfer to serving bowl.
  • Sprinkle with lemon zest and serve immediately.

Notes

Nothing says springtime like plucking a few early season greens from my garden (or the grocery store)
