Steamsauteed Tender Greens With Lemon And Garlic Food

LEMON-GARLIC GREENS SAUTE

Steps:

• Roughly chop the greens and wash them thoroughly.
• To a large saucepan or Dutch oven add the olive oil, garlic and as much of the greens as will fit (you may need to let the first batch cook down a little to fit the rest of the greens in the pan).
• Once all of the greens are in the pan, cook uncovered for 15 minutes or until greens are tender, tossing frequently.
• Once the greens are softened and slightly browned, add the lemon juice and saute an additional 2 minutes.
• Serve warm.

STEAM/SAUTEED TENDER GREENS

Steps:

• Combine the fat, salt, garlic, the prepared greens, spices in a large deep skillet or Dutch oven. Cover and steam over medium-high heat until the greens are wilted and brightly colored, about 5 minutes.
• Remove the lid and continue to cook until the liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes longer. Add optional fresh herbs. Adjust the seasonings, including pepper to taste.

MEDITERRANEAN SARDINES WITH LEMON AND GARLIC

Steps:

• For the spicy tartar: Combine the mayonnaise, yogurt, pickles, red pepper, onion, capers, lemon juice, tarragon, chives, hot sauce and cayenne in a mixing bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Stir well, then cover and refrigerate for 15 to 20 minutes to allow flavors to come together.
• For the sardines: Preheat a grill to high. Rinse the sardines in cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Season the cavity of each sardine with salt and pepper, then place a sprig of thyme and oregano inside each along with a few slices of lemon and garlic. Season outside with salt and pepper. Carefully tie the sardines with butcher¿s twine to help keep them closed during grilling. Wipe down the grill grates with a towel dipped in oil to clean and create a non-stick surface. Carefully place sardines across grates and grill for 3 to 4 minutes, until skin blisters and chars around the edges. Using a spatula, carefully turn the sardines and grill for a further 2 to 3 minutes to cook through. When done, remove to a platter and keep warm until ready to serve. Serve the sardines slathered with the Spicy Tartar.
