Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Greek Horta
- Wash your mixed greens thoroughly. Blanch wild greens in boiling water for 3 minutes, then place in an ice bath. Drain and chop the greens into smaller pieces.
- Heat 8 tablespoons of olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add chopped red onion and cook for 5–7 minutes until golden brown.
- Add minced green onion and chopped garlic to the pan, cooking for an additional minute. Then add the prepared spinach and collard greens, sautéing until wilted for about 3–4 minutes.
- Stir in the blanched greens, grated tomato, and remaining minced green onion. Season with salt and pepper to taste, and stir everything together.
- Reduce heat to low, add remaining olive oil, cover the pan, and let it cook gently for about 8 minutes. Add splash of water if greens appear dry.
- Finally, add the minced dill, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Cook for another 1–2 minutes to brighten the flavors before serving.
