(27,310 posts)Sautee onions with a bit of salt and pepper. When onions are soft add garlic add smoked paprika. Cook for like 30 seconds. Toss in some hearty greens like chard or kale. Cover for a minute, remove the cover and let the liquid reduce a bit while leaving the greens stiff looking. Add fresh chopped tomatoes with tomato paste or add canned tomatoes with a scant bit of liquid and nuts or seeds and chick peas or any bean. I like the chick peas for their crunch. Taste and salt and pepper. Add a splash of balsamic. And perhaps some raisins. And taste for seasoning.
Serve over rice or bow tie or spiral pasta.
The colors are beautiful and the flavors are bright and it only takes about 20 minutes from start to finish.
You can elevate it with some lemon zest.
