How To Make leafy greens with peppers and pine nuts
-
Step 1Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a wide, heavy pan. Stir in the onions and chopped bell peppers. Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes, they will start to soften.
-
Step 2Add the chopped spring greens and mix well. Season with salt and ground black pepper. Stir and cook over medium heat for 3 minutes.
-
Step 3Stir in the lemon juice and 2 tbsp. water, combine well. Cover and cook for a further 8 minutes under low to medium heat. The vegetables will still retain a delicious bite to them, turn the heat off.
-
Step 4While the spring greens are cooking, heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a small pan.
-
Step 5Stir in the pine nuts and sauté under low to medium heat for about 3 minutes. Please keep an eye on the pine nuts, as they tend to brown quickly. Turn the heat off.
