The fix
Tap a step to check it off.
- 1 spread in a hot skillet and cook 1 minute to evaporate moisture
- 2 add olive oil and garlic for flavor
- 3 finish with lemon juice
If it's still wrong
- blend into a soup or sauce
- mix into a casserole
Prevent next time
- cook just until wilted
- drain well after cooking
Notes
Why this works
Short, high heat drives off water and reduces the slimy feel. Acid brightens flavor and makes the greens taste fresher.
