Ingredients

Method

Pick over the greens, trim woody ends and wash in several changes of clean water. Leave tender stems and leaves in manageable pieces.
Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add greens and simmer until the stems yield easily to a knife, checking after 6 minutes. Drain without squeezing; cool briefly.
Whisk lemon juice, olive oil, salt and garlic. Spoon over the warm greens and rest for 10 minutes. Serve with lemon wedges and a little finely grated zest if desired. Refrigerate leftovers promptly.
