Massaging the greens both softens and seasons them before grilling.
Ingredients
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/4 cup olive oil
1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
Freshly ground black pepper
2 large bunches Swiss chard or Tuscan kale, or 1/2 head escarole, leaves separated
Directions
Prepare a grill for medium-high heat. Bring garlic, oil, red pepper flakes, and 1/2 tsp. salt to a boil in a small saucepan over medium. Cook until garlic is golden. Let cool; season with salt and pepper.
Combine greens and oil in a large bowl, massaging oil into greens. Grill until lightly charred and softened, about 1 minute per side.
