all-time favorite dark leafy greens

 

serves 2-4  | ready in 15 mins.

This recipe is my all time favorite, go-to, staple recipe for sautéed greens. It’s adapted from one of the first recipes I made when I began exploring Āyurveda years ago. It’s quick, easy, nutritious, and delicious, and the spices are a great way to reduce the bitter taste of the greens.

Ingredients

1 bunch dark leafy greens (kale, collards, mustard, or dandelion greens)
2 TBS water
1 TBS ghee or olive oil
1/2 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp hing
Himalayan mineral salt to taste

Doshic Adjustments

🅟 🅚 🅥 Enjoy as is.

Method

  • Wash the greens and chop them, removing any large stems in the process.

  • In a large skillet, heat the ghee or olive oil. Add the spices and sauté them until they release their aroma.

  • Add the greens and stir to coat in the ghee and spices.

  • Sauté the greens for 2-3 mins. Add the water, cover and steam for 1-2 mins more.

  • Remove from heat. Season with salt to taste.
