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.
