By Jamie Oliver

This braised greens recipe is a really simple and tasty way to make greens less boring; also, having a mixture of greens makes things much more appealing.

Ingredients

• 2 large handfuls of silverbeet
• 2 large handfuls of chicory
• olive oil
• 2 large cloves of garlic, peeled and finely sliced
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 2 large handfuls of rocket
• ½ a lemon

Instructions

1. 1

   Half fill a large pot with salted water, bring to the boil and add your silverbeet and chicory. Cook for 2 or 3 minutes until the greens are tender, or al dente, then drain in a colander.

2. 2

   To your empty pan add 4 large lugs of olive oil and the garlic. Fry the garlic until lightly coloured, then throw in your cooked chicory and silverbeet. Season and stir around to coat in all the lovely flavoured oil.

3. 3

   After 1 minute, remove from the heat, add the rocket and squeeze in the lemon juice. Stir once more, check the seasoning again, and serve immediately. Great with grilled meats or scallops, or even served cold on an antipasti plate.
