Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons oil (canola or olive work)
- 2 large onions (peeled & thinly sliced)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 2 pounds fresh chopped greens (can be spinach, dandelion greens, Swiss chard, etc.)
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic (grated)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- pita bread to serve
Instructions
Preparing caramelized onions:
- Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat.
- Add sliced onions, salt and pepper and stir well.
- Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook onions, stirring frequently, until they turn golden brown and caramelized. Be patient – this may take up to 30 minutes.
Cup of Yum
Preparing greens:
- Place a steamer basket inside a large pot with a tight-fitting lid and bring 3 inches of water to boil over high heat.
- Add greens to the pot and steam until bright green and wilted, about 3-4 minutes, careful not to over-cook. If the greens turn brown that means they're overcooked.
- Remove greens from pan and let cool in a large bowl.
- In a small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper; set aside.
- Before adding the lemon vinaigrette to the greens, use a kitchen towel or paper towel to remove any excess liquid that may have formed.
- Drizzle lemon vinaigrette over the greens and toss well to combine. Check for seasoning and adjust accordingly. Spread greens out in a thin layer on a large platter.
- Top greens with caramelized onions and serve with pita bread warm, room temperature or chilled.
