MAKES 2 SERVINGS

2 bunches of greens (collards, kale, mustard, or turnip)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1-1/2 cups defatted chicken or vegetable broth
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup finely chopped spring onions
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
Æ teaspoon salt (optional)
Æ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/4 teaspoon chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon liquid smoke (optional, if you like smoked greens)

Cut the greens into strips. Add the oil to a large frying pan or Dutch oven, then saute the greens until wilted, tender and bright green. Add the broth, water and remaining ingredients. Simmer for about 15 to 30 minutes. The greens should be firm, tender and bright green, preserving nutrients, flavor and texture.

Note: While this serves 2, the recipe is easily multiplied.
