Braised Greens with Walnuts and Sour Cherries Recipe

Braised Greens with Walnuts and Sour Cherries Recipe

  • 3 tablespoons vegetable broth or water (possibly more, as needed)
  • 1 pound assorted fresh leafy greens, stemmed if necessary, and coarsely chopped
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil or a nut oil or seed oil
  • ¼ cup dried sour cherries, cut into small pieces if large
  • ¼ cup minced walnuts, lightly toasted
  1. Heat the broth or water in a medium-large skillet with a tight-fitting lid.
  2. Add the greens and sprinkle them very lightly with salt. Cover the pan and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, or until the greens wilt. (Check the level of broth or water after about 2 minutes, to be sure there’s enough liquid to prevent sticking or burning.)
  3. Transfer to a serving dish, and toss with the oil and cherries. Serve hot or warm, topped with the walnuts.
