Charred Greens with Garlic
These greens are simply charred and tossed in aromatic raw garlic, and complement just about any protein you care to pair with them.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces broccolini, leaves and stems trimmed
- 8 ounces green beans, trimmed
- 1 (7 oz) bunch of lacinato (Tuscan) kale, ribs trimmed
- 1 bunch scallions, root ends trimmed and discarded
- 2 to 3 teaspoons mild vegetable or avocado oil
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, plus more if needed
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Trim broccolini so that the pieces are no thicker than the green beans. In a large bowl, combine broccolini, beans, and kale.
- Drizzle with oil and toss well to coat.
- Heat a cast-iron frying pan or wok over medium-high heat until very hot.
- Working in 2 or 3 batches, add greens mixture and cook until charred, 6 to 8 minutes per batch. Transfer to a large bowl and repeat with remaining vegetables.
- Toss greens mixture with red pepper flakes and garlic, season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few turns of the pepper mill. Taste, and adjust seasoning, if needed. Devour.
