Time 10m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

6 cups loosely packed leafy greens, use any green leafy vegetable such as kale, collard greens or 6 cups chard leaves
1 vegetarian vegetable bouillon cube, prepared according to package directions
1 tablespoon powdered ground fennel (dry)
3 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • Make bullion according to package directions. Typically, this means that you add one bullion cube to 2 cups water and heat to low simmer. Prepare in a large nonstick pot.
  • Add the fennel and garlic and stir.
  • Immediately add greens to simmering liquid.
  • "Roll" greens around in water to coat with spices and let simmer until just wilted, about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Do not overcook greens. They should be wilted, but still brightly colored. Greens will "shrink" significantly when they cook.
  • Use a slotted spoon to remove greens into a bowl or serving dish or onto plates or bowls. Let liquid drain a bit before putting greens into dish.
  • Enjoy greens steaming hot.
