    List of Ingredients




    Greens with Garlicky Toasted Breadcrumbs
    Yields: Makes 4 servings

    Ingredients:
    1 lb. turnip greens, broccoli rabe (also sold as "rapini"), or wild field
    greens (such as dandelion greens)
    1/4 cup coarse sea salt
    1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more, if needed
    2 to 6 garlic cloves (to taste)
    1/4 tsp. hot red pepper flakes
    2 to 4 cups (1/2-inch) bread cubes (see note)

    Recipe



    Directions:
    In a large pot, bring at least 4 quarts water to a rolling
    boil. Meanwhile, clean the greens, discarding any tough stems. Add the
    salt and the greens to the water; cook 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain
    the greens in a colander, reserving 2 cups of cooking liquid. Cool under
    cold running water. Squeeze out excess water and coarsely chop the greens.

    In a large skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium heat. Add the garlic;
    saute until the garlic begins to brown. Discard the garlic and add the
    chopped greens and pepper flakes. Saute until the greens absorb the
    oil. Add the bread cubes and 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking
    liquid. Saute over high heat until the bread absorbs the liquid.

    Add more reserved cooking liquid, 1/2 cup at a time if necessary. This
    dish should be moist but not soupy. Remove from the heat, add 1/4 cup or
    more oil, stir and serve.
