Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil toasted or plain
  • 1 large shallot sliced (or 1 medium onion, diced)
  • 2-3 cloves garlic finely minced
  • 1 ⁄2 pound greens chopped or cut into strips
  • 1 ⁄2 cup your home-made bone broth or your veggie, chicken broth
  • 2 teaspoon tamari or coconut aminos
  • 3-4 tablespoon sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil over medium heat and immediately add onions or shallots and cook for 1 minute. Add half of the garlic and then the greens.
  • Toss gently to begin to wilt the greens.
  • Put the top on your wok or sauté pan for 3-4 minutes, lowering the heat.
  • Add the tamari and the broth/stock.
  • Continue cooking until stock has reduced behalf and the greens are slightlywilted and tender.
  • Add the remaining garlic
  • Toss once lightly with sesame oil and top with sesame seeds.

Notes

I add a portion of the garlic at the end, so that we enjoy both the flavour and the healing qualities.
I prefer toasted sesame oil for the 'finishing oil'. Such flavour!
This is more of a guideline than anything.
I don't always use the same ingredients.
Basic version: Greens, small amount oil, onion. Sauté and toss. Enjoy!
