- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. When the water has reached a rolling boil, put the greens in it, boiling for a total of 15 minutes.

- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the minced garlic to the pan, stirring until you can smell the garlic cooking.
- Add the drained greens to the pan, mixing with the garlic, and let cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Pull the skillet off the heat and add the 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice, stirring until the greens have soaked it in.
- Serve warm, and enjoy!
Notes
You can use whatever greens you've got on hand! In the past, I've used a combination of collard greens, kale and mustard greens. But you can use just one of these or fresh spinach, and it'll work out beautifully!
