Suite Family Greens Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • The first thing I wanna say here is a discovery we made while on the road. For years our family always made greens the old fashioned way by cooking them slowly on a stove-top in a large pot. By necessity we needed to use the microwave to help cook in our hotel. By prepping the vegetable in the microwave first we have found a better way to make the dish quicker and more tender. Microwaves cook by boiling water molecules using molecular resonance. The boiling water molecules explode much of the interstitial fibrous vegetable matter at the cellular level tenderizing the vegetable!! So now we use this method as a standard!!
  • Chop all vegetables into approx. 1-in. square pieces. (Chop the vegetable to your preferred density. We use the old Italian philosophy of cutting food into pieces no smaller than the size of a jumbo olive.)
  • Chop the Garlic and Cilantro fine.
  • Chop Olives into 2 pieces or leave whole if they are very small.
  • Mix half the Olive Oil, Rutabaga, Onions, Peppers, Fennel, Oregano, Bay Leaves and Black Pepper into a microwavable bowl. Microwave Onion mixture on high for 12 mins.
  • Add Remaining olive oil to pot on stove-top. Heat oil until shimmering.
  • Add Mushrooms and Chopped Garlic to heated oil and cook until lightly browned.
  • Add Stewed Tomatoes, Copped Olives, Capers, Chopped Cilantro, Cannelloni Beans,
  • When microwaved onion mixture is done, Add entire vegetable mixture to browned Garlic in pot on stove-top. Reserve part of the liquid from the onion mixture in same microwaveable bowl. Cook in stove-top pot on med-hi heat stirring regularly.
  • Add chopped Greens and Peppers to microwavable bowl and reserved liquid. microwave on high for 8-10 mins until completely limp.
  • Add Greens, Peppers, and liquid to stove-top pot.
  • Remove Bay Leaves at end of cook time.
  • Add Balsamic Vinegar to batch at very end and mix into batch thouroughly.
  • Cook Vegetables on Medium-Hi for 30-mins stirring regularly..
  • Serve in bowls with Romano Cheese sprinkled on top. We also like a to have a good whole grain bread with them to soak up the delicious juice.
  • We all experience a real rush of energy the day after when we have to face our inevitable workout at the gym; another necessity for healthy life as a road warrior.
