Spring Greens Medley

I love this recipe because it uses all the green things in the fridge that have a relatively short life span: snow peas, asparagus, spinach, lettuce, watercress, and peas. Feel free to throw in thinly sliced fennel, green beans or small broccoli florets.

Here they are gently cooked in stock or white wine with garlic and pepper. It’s a light, clean, and perfect green side to serve with baked fish, roast chicken, or an omelette and toast.

Step 1
Thinly slice greens, dice onion and slice garlic cloves.

Step 2
Heat 1⁄4 cup extra virgin olive oil in a frying pan over low heat, then sauté onion, for 2–3 minutes, then add garlic cloves.

Step 3
Add the greens, a generous pinch of salt and stock or white wine. Simmer gently, covered, for 5–15 minutes, until everything is tender.

Step 4
Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and a good grind of black pepper. Transfer to a serving plate, drizzle with a little more oil and top with any chopped herbs that need using. You could also crumble some goat’s cheese and/or shave some parmesan on top.
