Horta ~ Boiled Greens with Garlic
A classic and nutritious way to get your daily mix of greens—kale, anyone?—that’s based on Greek tradition…complete with a little added oomph.

A handful of cheap ingredients. The exact perfect temperature and timing. And a little patience, please, while spuds are elevated from simple to stellar.
