Mixed greens

In addition to the chard from this week's biokiste, we also had chard and spinach from last week's double box. I applied my standard solution to the "massive quantities of greens" problem and made mixed greens.

Start by gently cooking a couple of sliced leeks [box] with two chopped cloves of garlic and a pinch of salt in olive oil until the leeks soften. Do this in a big pot.
Stir in a bunch of coarsely chopped chard greens, cover, and cook (stirring occasionally) over medium-low until the greens have substantially reduced in volume (10-15 minutes). Add coarsely chopped (and stemmed) spinach, cover and cook some more until all the greens are reduced and tender.

Voila! Two big bags of greens reduced to about 700ml. I see a pasta dish in our future...
