Looking for ways to get more greens?
• Pass on the iceberg and use greens like spinach or cress on your sandwich.
• Forget the coffee. Try a blended salad for breakfast or as an afternoon pick me up.
• Set yourself up to succeed. Once a week buy several pounds of tender greens (chards, mustards, cress etc) and flash saute them in a dry pan until wilted. Store in a zipper bag in your refrigerator and use as a stuffing for omelets, tossed in pastas and risottos, or used in soups as a last minute seasoning. Once you have them cooked and on hand, using them becomes easier.
• Try pureeing wilted greens with hot broth and whisk in a little sea salt and crème fraiche (or sour cream) for a great quick hot tonic or restorative.
• Try sautéing large volumes of tender greens and layer them into your next lasagna or stuff them inside ravioli with some ricotta cheese.
