Recipe ingredients:
- Greens:
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 large onions, chopped
- 3 medium carrots, sliced
- 3 pounds mixed hearty greens, chopped, thick stems removed, no long stringy pieces, about 48 leaves
- Chickpea mixture:

- 3/4 cup red wine
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 tablespoons Sucanat sugar, or granulated sugar
- Finishing:
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
Recipe method:
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat and add oil.
- Saute onions, carrots, and mixed hearty greens sealing them one at a time, about 15 minutes total.
- While vegetables are sauteing, combine chickpeas, wine, first portion of salt, and sugar in a small pan and cook together.
- Cook gently until there is no liquid left.
- The idea is to impact a sweetened red wine flavor into the chickpeas.
- When vegetables are done sauteing, add second portion of salt and stir.
- Add the chickpeas mixture and cook for about 1 minute.
- Variation: Instead of using chickpeas, try another bean such as white beans.
- Be careful not to overcook greens. If you have had boiled greens, and did not like them, give this dish a try as greens prepared in a saute method are much more palatable than boiled greens. This dish could convert some of those who have not liked greens in the past.
