Ingredients

olive oil
2 chopped shallots
6 cloves garlic, smashed then roughly chopped
16 ozs mixed greens
salt
pepper
zest 1/2 lemon
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
2 chopped scallions

Directions

1

Select a large saute pan/shallow pot, add enough olive oil to coat the bottom and place over medium/low heat. Add the garlic and cook gently until it starts to soften and turns a light golden color--about four minutes.
2

Once the garlic has softened up, add the shallots and stir. You don't want to brown them so much as you want them to become soft and translucent.
3

Once the garlic and shallots are tender, add the greens, salt, pepper and lemon zest. Stir and cook until the greens soften--I prefer to leave the stems crunchy.
4

When you're just about to pull them off of the heat stir in the crushed red pepper flakes and scallions.
