Mom’s Quick Lambsquarter “Super-food” Recipe:
After working a long day, this is a 5 minute way to add a side of greens to dinner.
Chop the entire bag of lambsquarters and place in cast-iron skillet with ¼ c olive oil, ¼ c water, ½ tsp sea salt, 1 tsp apple cider vinegar, 1 tsp chipotle pepper, 1 tsp garlic powder (or three crushed fresh cloves of garlic). Stir, cover, and cook on medium until leaves turn dark green (3-10 minutes). May boil for up to 20 minutes depending upon preference of texture. For variety, may add diced onions, mushrooms, sundried tomato, a dash of maple syrup, or toasted sesame oil.
