Braised Greens with Golden Raisins and Maple

Braised Greens with Golden Raisins and Maple in a serving dish with a serving spoon
  • Serves:  4
  • Prep Time:  15 min
  • Cook Time:  20 min

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter, (or extra-virgin olive oil)
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 pound (about 4 packed cups) hearty greens, such as Italian kale, collards, or Swiss chard, stems removed and roughly chopped
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt, plus more to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon unfiltered apple cider vinegar
  • ¼ cup golden raisins
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup
  • 1 ½ cups chicken or vegetable stock

Method

  1. Heat the oil and butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add half of the greens and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the remaining greens and cook until wilted, 1 to 2 more minutes.
  2. Stir in the salt, paprika, pepper, vinegar, golden raisins, maple syrup, and stock. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cook, partially covered, until the greens are tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Season to taste with more salt.
