Directions
Step #1 These greens, from Joyce Goldstein, are delicious, & go particularly well with the Thanksgiving feast.
Step #2 The bitter flavor tempers the richness of dark-meat turkey & gravy, creamed onions, of butter-laced mashed potatoes, sweet potato casserole & all the other lush dishes of the holiday table.
Step #3 INSTRUCTIONS: Wash the greens well & trim off any tough stems or unsightly leaves.
Step #4 Cut or chop very large leaves into large bite- size pieces.
Step #5 Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Step #6 Add the greens & cook, for about 10 mins, uncovered, until quite soft.
Step #7 Drain well.
Step #8 Heat a little olive oil in large saute pan.
Step #9 Add the garlic, hot pepper & anchovies, if using.
Step #10 Warm over moderate heat for a few mins.
Step #11 Add the drained greens, tossing them in the hot oil.
