  • 1/2-1 tsp. smoked paprika
  • 1/2 tsp. black pepper

Instructions

  • Add canola oil to sauté pan over medium heat.
  • Add onions and cook while stirring for about 2 minutes, or until onion is translucent (clear).

Notes

GREAT ADDITIONS/SUBSTITUTIONS
Try greens that are bright in color. These are less bitter than greens that are starting to dull or turn yellow. The more you cook the greens, the softer they become, which also reduces bitterness.
