Ingredients
- 1 to 1 1/4 pounds stemmed hearty greens, mustard greens, or kale
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, zested
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
Remove any large stems from the greens and wash them thoroughly; do so in a sink with at least 5 inches of water. Moving the leaves around in the water and allowing them to sit for a few minutes to allow the sand or dirt to fall to the bottom of the sink. Once clean, roughly chop the greens. You should have 1 to 1 1/4 pounds finished greens once they are stemmed. (Weigh the greens after stemming, but before washing.)
Heat a large 13 by 11-inch roasting pan set over 2 burners on medium heat. Once hot, add the olive oil. Add the garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, salt, and pepper and stir to combine. Add the greens and saute for 4 to 5 minutes, tossing continually. Add the red pepper flakes and the sesame seeds. Toss to combine. Adjust seasoning, if needed. Serve immediately.

First time I made this I used Mustard greens and it was great - we really enjoyed it. That was several months ago. I just make it again using the same and it came out bitter and chewy. Wondering if I didn't cook it long enough or even over cooked it! I didn't have fresh lemons so had no zest and used bottled lemon juice. I also used sea salt instead of kosher salt..... I'm bummed as I get tired eating spinach, etc. all over again. I'll try it next time wth Kale.
