Greens With Pinto Beans

Recipe Ingredients

1 lb	454g / 16oz	Spinach or Swiss chard
1 1/2 tablespoons	22ml	Olive oil
2		Garlic cloves - (to 3) - minced
3		Scallions, white and green parts - finely chopped
1 cup	160g / 5.6oz	Cooked pinto beans
1 teaspoon	5ml	Chili powder
		Salt - to taste
		Freshly-ground black pepper - to taste

Recipe Instructions

Stem and wash the greens. If you're using chard, make sure to trim the thicker mid-ribs as well. Steam the greens in a tightly covered pot until wilted. The spinach will be done as soon as it wilts, but the chard needs to steam longer. It will be done when it turns a dark green. Drain the greens and finely chop them.

Heat the oil in a large skillet. Add the garlic and saute over low heat until it just begins to turn golden. Add the scallions and saute just until they soften a bit. Stir in the greens, beans and seasonings. Cook, covered, over low heat for 5 minutes, or just until everything is well heated through.

This recipe yields 4 to 6 servings.
