Ingredients
- 1.5 kg sweet radicchio greens (or any greens of your choice)
- Salt
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Choose your preferred greens (in this case, 1.5 kg of sweet radicchio), clean them thoroughly, and soak them in a bowl of water with a splash of vinegar for five minutes. The vinegar helps eliminate any insects that might be present.
- Rinse the greens multiple times under fresh water to remove any remaining dirt or soil.
- Fill a pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Add the greens to the pot.
- Use a fork to press the greens down so they are fully submerged in the water. Keep an eye on the pot to prevent the water from boiling over.
- Boil the greens to your desired level of tenderness.
