page 158-159  You can adapt this recipe to whatever greens you have:
spinach, kale,  collards, or beet greens, for example.  Just adjust the
boiling time  (spinach takes seconds to cook; collards take several
minutes), and  make sure to transfer the boiled greens to ice water to
stop the  cooking and preserve the nutrients. The roasted onion and
softened  red pepper add a pleasing sweetness to the dish. On another
evening,  serve these savory greens as a sauce for spaghetti.  Bring a
large pot of salted water to a boil.  Separate chard ribs from  leaves.
Coarsely chop leaves and ribs separately.  Boil the ribs  until tender,
about 4 minutes.  Scoop them out with a slotted sppon  or sieve and run
under cold water to stop the cooking. Boil leaves in  same water until
tender, about 3 minutes. Drain and transfer to a  bowl of ice water.
Drain and gently squeeze leaves to remove excess  water.  Combine bell
pepper, garlic and vegetable broth in a skillet over  moderate heat.
Cover and cook until peppers are softened, about 4  minutes. Stir in
diced onion, chard ribs and leaves, and salt and  pepper to taste. Cook
until hot throughout.  Serves 4; Serving size:  1/2 cup, Calories:  40,

degrees F.  Place whole unpeeled onions on a baking sheet and bake
until they are  soft to the touch and lightly browned on the outside,
about 30  minutes. Cool, then cut off root end and squeeze out the soft
interior.  One onion yields 1 to 1 1/2 cups diced roasted onion,
depending on size.  Microwave oven:  Microwave whole unpeeled onions on
full power until  very soft, 4 to 5 minutes.  Cool, then cut off root
end and squeeze  out the soft interior.  FATFREE DIGEST V96 #72  From
