CSA Fritatta

My first CSA share involved a LOT of greens. I made a fritatta.

1 fresh garlic shoot, chopped
1 scallion, chopped
approx. 1 lb mixed greens, roughly chopped
4 eggs
olive oil
salt and pepper

Boil a large pot of water. Blanch greens for 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and plunge into ice water or run cold water over them.

Saute garlic and scallion in olive oil over medium heat in a 10-inch skillet.

While they are sauteing, pick up handfuls of the greens and squeeze as much water out as possible. Chop the greens a bit more. Beat the eggs in a large bowl and add greens and salt and pepper.

Pour greens and egg mixture into skillet and give a stir to distribute garlic and scallions. Cover and cook over low heat for 8 to 10 minutes. Flip the fritatta (plate over skillet method, or whatever works for you) and cook another 3 minutes or so.

Slide onto serving plate, cut into wedges.
