I completely skipped Step #1 because I like my greens very lightly cooked. Instead, the kale was cooked for only 1 minute just until wilted. Cippolini onions for a change of pace and omitted the crushed red pepper flakes. Delicious! Thank you! -
I used a greens mixture of kale, spinach and arugula. The smoked paprika was a nice change. Thanks for an easy, healthy recipe. -
Really good side dish. The smoked paprika gives it a nice dimension. Like another reviewer, I skipped step 1 since we like our greens stir fried/lightly cooked. -
Couldn't be much healthier and is a delicious way to get those most important antioxidants. I omitted the red pepper flakes, but only because I forgot. I also sprinkled a little balsamic on it. Thnx for sharing your recipe, dicentra. Made for French Country Kitchen Herb of the Month...Paprika! March 2010

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
