Yummy Greens from Yodah Yensen

Hi Folks,
Thought you might like a simple recipe for the greens of your choice. Today, we chose Swiss Chard. You will need:
2T Organic Butter or Butter Substitute*
1-3 Organic Garlic Cloves (depending on your taste buds)
1/2 C White Wine
1/2 Lemon, zested and squeezed
1-3 Mushrooms of Choosing**
1 bunch of Greens (SWISS CHARD, Beet Greens, Kale, Collards)

In a skillet***, Sautee butter and Garlic until slightly golden. Add White Wine, Lemon juice, zest, and mushrooms (sliced). Cook down (or until it starts smelling good). Add Greens (Chopped) and stir in until bright green (that is how you know it's done). Serve. Super yummy, quick AND nutritious.



*Smart Balance is a good one, non-GMO, non-Hydrogenated, Soy based and yummy. Coconut oil is also very good, helps metabolize fat inside the body.
**Chantrelles have a creamy, nutty flavor- Crimini have a bolder "mushroom" Flavor- Shitakes a light buttery flavor AND they boost the immune system. Black Mushrooms have a deep nuttiness, a little goes a long way, Same goes for Porcinis, they have a strong aromatic quality ( Mmmm Porcini's).
***(we prefer Cast Iron for it's benevolent gifts of it's minerals, IRON, but good stainless steel will do nicely as well)
