Ingredients
1/4 cup vegetable or olive oil
1 quart, approximately, boiling water plus cold water (for blanching)
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1/4 pound sweet potato greens, thoroughly rinsed, stems removed
Preparation
Rinse sweet potato greens and remove stems. Place in a strainer in the sink. Boil water and pour over greens in strainer. Let cool for 2 minutes, then pour on cool water. While that is draining, heat a heavy skillet over medium heat. Add oil. When warm, add garlic, onion and chili powder. Saute for about 3-5 minutes, till golden brown. Pat greens with paper towels to eliminate excess water. Add greens to skillet, toss all well, and allow to cook for 3-5 minutes. Greens will wilt and soften like spinach. Serve immediately.
