One of my favorite meals - just a big plate of sauteed greens.
So I was quite pleased when I found something new at the store - a bag of Power Greens, featuring something I had never heard of, tatsoi.
It turns out that tatsoi, also known as spinach mustard or spoon mustard, is an Asian variety of Brassica rapa, according to Wikipedia.
I cooked the greens with a little olive oil and garlic - the usual method.
Not quite sure which leaves are tatsoi.
It all cooks down in a few minutes to a delicous plate of greens - one of the simplest meals on earth.
Well, for me it's a meal. The bag says that it makes four servings, but I could have eaten two bags of greens with no trouble. (And apparently eight servings would be only 160 calories, even if I had eaten two bags - I don't think they include the olive oil in the calorie count, though.)
Do I have a backup plan for when I'm out of fresh greens? Yes I do, in the pantry in the laundry room.
Glory!
