~How To Keep Salad Greens Fresh~ Kale OR Collard Greens
This is the way many folks recommend storing lettuce. After washing and drying the leaves, the lettuce is laid out on paper towels, then rolled up and placed in a plastic bag. Press out as much air as possible and seal the top before placing it in the crisper drawer of the refrigerator. The paper towels absorb excess moisture from the greens and keep them from getting slimy, and the sealed bag keeps excess air from circulating in and out, slowing down the wilting process. ~ Fancy French Radish Snack ~
Looking for a fun way to eat radishes? Slice them up and dip them in artisanal butter and a little salt sprinkled on top. Layer them on a baguette like shown in the picture to the right! Yum!
Sautéed Collard Greens Ingredients 2 1/2 pounds collard greens 2 garlic cloves 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Ingredients Remove and discard stems and center ribs of collard greens. Cut leaves into 1inch pieces. In a kettle of boiling water cook collards 15 minutes and drain in a colander, pressing out excess liquid with back of a wooden spoon. Mince garlic. In a 12-inch heavy skillet heat butter and oil over moderately high heat until foam subsides and stir in garlic, collards, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté collard mixture, stirring, until heated through, about 5 minutes. Drizzle collards with lemon juice and toss well.
