Sauté of Garden Greens

  Serves 4-6
Time: 15 minutes

1 1/2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves of garlic, sliced or minced
2 onions, sliced
pinch of sea salt or 1/2 teaspoon of umeboshi vinegar
1 large bunch kale, rinsed and sliced into bit sized pieces (about 2 quarts)
2 teaspoons dried basil or 2 tablespoons fresh, minced
2 teaspoons dried oregano or 2 tablespoons fresh, minced
2 teaspoons dried thyme or 2 tablespoons fresh, minced
Option #1: Omit the salt. Add 2 tablespoons of rinsed Gaeta capers, 1 pound sliced firm tofu, and 4 tablespoons white wine such as Four Chimney's Cooking Wine with garlic before adding the herbs.

Option #2: Add a cup of sliced white or wild mushrooms (fresh shiitake, oyster, cremini, or other).

Option #3: Add fresh or marinated sun-dried tomatoes and peppers.

Heat a wok or heavy skillet. Add and sauté onions, pinch of salt, and garlic in oil for 3 minutes. Add kale and sauté until tender (5-10 minutes). Season with herbs. Stir fry and taste. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Serve immediately.
