Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 4; heaping 1/2 cup per serving

Ingredients

1 large bunch (about 1 pound) collard greens or red or green Swiss chard, stems discarded, cut crosswise into large pieces
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 medium tomatoes, each cut into 8 wedges
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning, crumbled
2 to 3 tablespoons shredded or grated Parmesan cheese

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Fill a Dutch oven half-full of water. Bring to a boil over high heat. Drop the greens into the water and cook for 5 to 8 minutes, or until tender. Drain well in a colander, being sure to drain off all the excess liquid.

    Step 2

    In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat, swirling to coat the bottom. Stir in the greens, tomatoes, garlic, and Italian seasoning. Cook for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the tomatoes are heated through, stirring frequently. Sprinkle with the Parmesan.

  2. Cook’s Tip

    Step 3

    After discarding the stems of the collard greens or Swiss chard, stack several leaves before cutting them. Repeat with the remaining leaves.
