Leafy Greens With Spicy Garlic Oil

This vibrant vegan side dish elevates simple leafy greens into something truly special using a fragrant, spicy garlic oil. By gently simmering garlic and chilli flakes in olive oil, you create a deeply aromatic base that perfectly cuts through the earthy notes of Swiss chard, Tuscan kale, or escarole. The process of massaging the oil into the leaves ensures they tenderise beautifully, while a quick flash over the heat adds a sophisticated hint of smoke.

Ideal for serving alongside roasted vegetables or as part of a summer barbecue spread, these greens are as nutritious as they are flavourful. The gentle charring provides a wonderful texture that contrasts with the softened stems, making this a versatile recipe for anyone seeking a healthy, plant-based accompaniment that doesn't compromise on seasoning or spice.
