PINK GREENS
A&M: This may be the most thoughtful sautéed greens recipe we've ever encountered. Beet greens (we agree with Marissa Grace that they deserve more attention in the kitchen) are usually wilted in hot olive oil with a little garlic, and they're delicious this way, but Marissa Grace plotted out ways to amplify the greens sweetness while tempering it with chiles. She has you brown garlic with shallot and red pepper flakes, then layer in sugar, black pepper, and salt before adding the greens and wilting them. Just before serving, you splash the beet greens with sherry vinegar, which electrifies the whole dish. The key here is the sugar, which caramelizes with the garlic and tightens up the sauce, so by the time the greens are cooked (and beet greens really should be cooked), it wraps them in a cloak of sweet and fiery sauce.

Steps:
- 1. Wash and trim the beet greens. If the stems are very thick, it's worth trimming them back a bit.
- 2. In a large sauté pan over medium heat, sauté the garlic, shallot, and red pepper flakes in the olive oil until slightly browned. Add the black pepper, sugar, and salt.
- 3. Place the beet greens in the pan, pour 1/4 cup water over them, and immediately cover. Once the greens have cooked down, 1 to 2 minutes, remove the lid and stir. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the water to evaporate.
- 4. Just before serving, pour the vinegar over the greens. Serve and enjoy!
- If you double the amounts as we did, so that it serves 4 people, add vinegar to taste. Twice the amount may be too much. You could use the same technique with spinach, arugula, chard, or any other dark leafy green.
- Marissa Grace Desmond and her husband, Ian Kaminski‐Coughlin, live in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Their favorite entertaining tip: "For dinner parties, we share online spreadsheets with our guests, so everyone can see who has responded. It also makes it much easier to coordinate who is bringing what and whether or not we need more wine!"
- Alli51: "This recipe would work great for various types of Asian greens (which I typically just cook with a bit of oil, kosher salt, and some soy/fish sauce and maybe some chicken broth). This will be much more interesting!"

- Heat the wok until smoking. Add the oil and swirl it around. Quickly add the garlic and the veggies and stir constantly.
- Be liberal with your salt to really bring out the flavor of the greens and add some sugar to balance the saltiness. This should get you fairly close to restaurant quality without adding any MSG.
- Pile the vegetables up in a small mound at the center of the wok. This allows the sides to heat up (the higher the heat, the better they’ll taste!). Put the lid on the wok and cook for 1-2 minutes. Remove the lid, stir briefly, and serve!
