Preparation

Step 1

Heat olive oil in a sauté pan over medium flame. Cook garlic until soft, about 5 minutes. Add peperoncino, and stir briefly.
Add chickpeas, (if using canned, drain and rinse) and the salt, cook one minute, and add 1 cup of water.

Cover and simmer about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding more water if the mixture becomes dry.

Add greens, toss gently, and cover. Allow greens to wilt for 3-5 minutes, or until tender.

Serve immediately.
