This dish is calledmisticanza("mixed greens") on the Ava Gene's menu. You can sauté whatever leafy greens you like or happen to have on hand; it's an ideal way to use up those slightly past their prime.
Ingredients
Makes 6 servings
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring often, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Add red pepper flakes and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add greens a handful at a time, tossing until wilted between additions; season with salt and pepper and cook until all greens are wilted and softened, about 3 minutes longer. Add olives and lemon juice and toss to combine; season with red pepper flakes and more lemon juice, if desired.

Back to TopExcellent and simple way to use up greens ! Most recently, I mixed spinach and romaine lettuce with plain old pitted black olives and it turned out surprisingly good. Keep in mind the olives will change the character of the dish: mild, salty, spicy, etc. I've also made this dish with kale and fancy marinated olives-very different but also delicious.
