Serves 4

Ingredients

Sclopit (wild herbs)
4 cups, chopped
Olive oil
4 tablespoons
Garlic
4 cloves, minced
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste

Instructions

  1. Begin by thoroughly washing the sclopit to remove any dirt or grit. Pat the herbs dry with a clean kitchen towel.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant but not browned, as burnt garlic can taste bitter.
  4. Carefully add the chopped sclopit to the skillet. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the herbs are wilted and tender.
  5. Season the dish with salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste, adjusting the seasoning as desired.
  6. Remove from heat and serve warm as a side dish or mix into your favorite pasta or risotto for added flavor.

Tips

  • 💡 For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice before serving.
  • 💡 Feel free to mix in other seasonal greens or herbs available to you for a unique twist.
  • 💡 If sclopit is unavailable, substitute with a mix of spinach and arugula for a similar taste and texture.
