Winter Greens Mix

Our Winter Greens Mix is excellent RAW, and is the way we most recommend eating the greens!  

However, when the greens get larger, as happens during the uppredictable sunshine of Winter, we do have some ideas for cooking them up!

Available at Greenstar Co-op, November-April.

Basic Braising Greens:

Preheat a skillet and add 1-2 Tablespoons of olive oil. Add 1 clove chopped garlic and 1 teaspoon chopped ginger (optional) and sauté 1 minute, stirring. Add braising greens and tamari to pan, cook until wilted, 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and serve!

From Snug Planet’s Elisabeth Harrod:

Heat sesame oil in a pan, Add chopped garlic, chopped ginger, chopped mushrooms. 1-2 minutes later, add greens, cook for 2- 3 minutes with tamari. Add sliced almonds, chopped walnuts and chopped peanuts. Cover
and remove from heat. In a separate skillet, sauté tofu cubes in more sesame oil. Add red pepper flakes, tamari, and nutritional yeast as
desired. Fill a bowl with greens & nuts, top with tofu, top with more greens & nuts, enjoy!
