Green leafy vegetables to use in other recipes

Directions

Before you start make sure you have a few trays of ice cubes in your freezer, ready to use. Put a big pot half full with water on the stove and bring to a boil.

Then cut the tough stalks out of the greens (especially if using Kale), not essential, they just don't taste that great.

Wash greens thoroughly, maybe even two or three times in plenty of water. Put greens aside.

Then prepare in a big bowl or your sink lots of cold water with plenty of ice cubes.

Once the water is boiling, throw in the amount of greens that you can grab in between two hands, push down into the water and put lid on top. After 1-2 minutes just when the greens have wilted, take them out with some tongs, place in a big colander and squeeze the excess water out. Quickly put them in the ice water and mix well. Once cooled place in a second colander and squeeze with both hands to get rid of as much water as possible. Chop roughly and do the same with all the greens, until all done. If not using straight away keep in fridge for a couple of days or freeze for later use.
