Here's one for the mild-spiciness folks, as opposed to the
eat-chiles-till-steam-comes-screaming-out-your-bellybutton folks. Heck,
even the
latter gotta take a break eventually. I think? :)
Most greens will work, but especially mustard, turnip and/or spinach.
I love kale, but
not so much here.

Title: Tangerine Dream Greens
Keywords: greens, chiles, fruit, vegan, late night, comfort food
2 quarts greens, rinsed and chopped, coarser stems removed
1/2 a small onion, finely chopped
1 Tablespoon sesame seeds
1 Tbsp. canola or peanut oil
Two drops (no more!) Asian-style sesame oil
Pinch cayenne, or one small, finely chopped red chile.
Salt and plenty of pepper
Juice of two to three tangerines
A few thin slivers of ginger if desired
Toast sesame seeds without oil in a large skillet with a lid that fits.
When
seeds start dancing in the pan and/or begin to change color, add both oils,
then the ginger then the greens and onion, Saute until greens are just
beginning to tenderize.
Add cayenne, salt and pepper to juice of two tangerines and pour over
greens.
Cover skillet. Cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, covered, or
until greens
are tender but not Appalachian- or soulfood-style. Check once to see
if a Tbsp.
or two of water is needed.
Adjust seasonings. Empty contents of skillet into a serving bowl and
drizzle
juice of another tangerine over the top if desired..
Theres a temptation to add soy sauce and garlic to this dish and make it
sort of Chinese-restaurant-y, or to goose up the chile heat, but
don't. Keep
it simple, and enjoy the fresh flavors. Trust me, it's nummy just the way
it is. :)
