Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 bunch chicory greens ((1 pound /500-600 grams))
  • 2-3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1-2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼-½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1-2 dashes hot pepper flakes (optional)
  • 2-3 slices fresh lemon

Instruction

  • I trim off about ¼-½ inch (1cm) off the stems before washing. Wash the leaves and drain, I like to leave them whole but you can cut them in half if you prefer. Cook the greens in either a large pot of boiling water (unsalted) or steam until tender but not mushy, drain well.
  • In medium frying pan add the olive oil, garlic and hot pepper flakes if using, cook 1 minute, then add the chicory and salt toss gently until heated through 1-2 minutes. Serve immediately, with a squeeze of lemon if desired. Enjoy!
