Tangerine Dream Greens (vegan)

[Guest guest]

Here's one for the mild-spiciness folks, as opposed to the

eat-chiles-till-steam-comes-screaming-out-your-bellybutton folks. Heck,

even the

latter gotta take a break eventually. I think?

 

Most greens will work, but especially mustard, turnip and/or spinach.

I love kale, but

not so much here.

Title: Tangerine Dream Greens

Keywords: greens, chiles, fruit, vegan, late night, comfort food

 

2 quarts greens, rinsed and chopped, coarser stems removed

1/2 a small onion, finely chopped

1 Tablespoon sesame seeds

1 Tbsp. canola or peanut oil

Two drops (no more!) Asian-style sesame oil

Pinch cayenne, or one small, finely chopped red chile.

Salt and plenty of pepper

Juice of two to three tangerines

A few thin slivers of ginger if desired

 

Toast sesame seeds without oil in a large skillet with a lid that fits.

When

seeds start dancing in the pan and/or begin to change color, add both oils,

then the ginger then the greens and onion, Saute until greens are just

beginning to tenderize.

 

Add cayenne, salt and pepper to juice of two tangerines and pour over

greens.

Cover skillet. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, covered, or

until greens

are tender but not Appalachian- or soulfood-style. Check once to see

if a Tbsp.

or two of water is needed.

 

Adjust seasonings. Empty contents of skillet into a serving bowl and

drizzle

juice of another tangerine over the top if desired..

 

Theres a temptation to add soy sauce and garlic to this dish and make it

sort of Chinese-restaurant-y, or to goose up the chile heat, but

don't. Keep

it simple, and enjoy the fresh flavors. Trust me, it's nummy just the way

it is.
