It's simple to make. Buy a bunch from a local farmer or pick it from your garden. Cut out the stems and cut them into smallish pieces, maybe 1/2 to 1 inch. Cut the rest of the greens into strips or pieces. Heat up a little oil in the bottom of a skillet with some garlic and red pepper flakes and saute the stems until they are mostly soft. Then toss in the greens and cook down, stirring occasionally. Use a lid to help the early part of getting them too cook down. This takes maybe 3-10 minutes, depending on how much you mess with it and flame strength. Once they're all cooked down and looking good, pour just a little bit of lemon juice or red wine vinegar over it and mix it up. There you go. Ready to eat!
