    • 3 pounds mixed hearty greens, chopped, thick stems removed, no long stringy pieces, about 48 leaves
  • Chickpea mixture:
    • 1 1/2 cups chickpeas, cooked, drained, a 15 ounces can is about 1 1/2 cups
    • 3/4 cup red wine
    • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

How to make hearty greens and chickpea saute

  • Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add oil.
  • Saute onions, carrots, and mixed hearty greens sealing them one at a time, about 15 minutes total.
  • While vegetables are sauteing, combine chickpeas, wine, first portion of salt, and sugar in a small pan and cook together.
  • Cook gently until there is no liquid left.
  • The idea is to impact a sweetened red wine flavor into the chickpeas.
  • When vegetables are done sauteing, add second portion of salt and stir.
  • Add the chickpeas mixture and cook for about 1 minute.
  • Variation: Instead of using chickpeas, try another bean such as white beans.
  • Be careful not to overcook greens. If you have had boiled greens, and did not like them, give this dish a try as greens prepared in a saute method are much more palatable than boiled greens. This dish could convert some of those who have not liked greens in the past.
