Sauteed greens are a wonderful vegetable side dish with almost any
dinner. We sautee kale but also spinach and some kinds of lettuce, and
we mix them, too.

Just fire up the frying pan, add oil, add garlic, and a bit of whatever
else you like, e.g., salt and/or pepper, and enjoy.

If you don't mind leftovers, they'll reheat nicely on the stove top or
in the microwave.

We also often use the leftovers, plus some leftover meat, chicken, or
fish, to make a stir-fry with rice and quinoa.

Note that whenever you're sauteeing greens, the volume is greatly
reduced, so you need to start with really a lot.
