This is straight from p. 562 of How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman so the measurements will be exact. Even though it says "collards or kale," df and I use chard and it's pretty awesome. Actually, I'm addicted to this recipe.
1 pound colars, kale or broccoli raab with stems under 1/4 inch, well washed
1/4 c. olive oil
1/4 c. thinly sliced garlic (about 5 or 6 cloves) plus 1 tsp minced garlic or more to taste
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes or to taste
salt and freshly gorund black peper to taste
1/2 c chicken, beef, or vegetable stock or water
lemon wedges (although this is not absolutely necessary)
1. coarsely chop stems and leaves of the greens
2. place olive oil in a large, deep saucepan. Add the sliced garlic, pepper flakes, salt, and black papper adn cook over medium-high ehat for about 1 minute.
3. Add greens and the stock or water. Cover and cook over medium-high heat for approximately 5 minutes, or until teh grees are wilted and just tender but stilla little firm.
4. Uncover the greens and continue to cook, stirring over medium-high heat until the liquid has all but evaporated and the greens are quite tender. Taste for seasoning and add red or black pepper and salt as needed; add teh remaining minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more. serve with lemon wedges (I usually just put the sprinkle of lemon juice on top and stir).
