Instructions

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet or Dutch oven over low heat, and add the garlic.
  • Cook gently, stirring frequently, until the garlic is fragrant but does not take on any color.
  • Add the moist greens, raise the heat to medium-high, and cover the pan.
  • Cook until the greens wilt, about 2 minutes, shaking the pan once or twice.
  • Remove the cover; if there’s any excess liquid, cook until it evaporates.
  • Toss the greens with the lemon juice, salt, and pepper, and serve hot.
