Sweet Potatoes and Greens

Makes 4 servings

Ingredients
  • 2 sweet potatoes
  • 2 bunches of greens (chard, collards, kale)
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tsp honey
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 TBSP olive or vegetable oil

Directions
  1. Peel and cut sweet potatoes into bite-size pieces
  2. Heat half the oil in a pan over medium heat and add potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just brown on all sides and soft. (About 12-15 minutes, depending on size.  If the potatoes become very dark before they are soft, reduce heat.) When they are cooked, add spices and salt/pepper to taste.  Set aside.
  3. While the potatoes are cooking, was the greens (don't dry them), remove stems and cut leaves into small pieces.
  4. Heat remaining oil over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for a minute before adding the greens.  Stir often and cook until tender. Season with salt/pepper to taste.
  5. Combine the potatoes, honey, and lemon juice with the greens.  Stir and serve.
