It may be pretty clear by now I love cooking with spinach, but almost a year ago, I discovered Kroger’s “power greens” mix of spinach, chard, kale, and mizuna.  It’s a great way to mix it up and still pack a powerful, nutritious punch.  And, well, you may recall I’m trying to clean up my act in the kitchen a bit.

So back in the spring, I saw this recipe on the inside of the Simple truth Organic power greens container, and have been wanting to try it -obviously- for a while now.  Recently I had the chance, and was amazed by its versatility.  More on that later.  First, the recipe – I made a few variations of my own, because, well that’s how I roll.

Sauteed Greens with Corn & Mushrooms

You’ll need:

• 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil (“EVOO” if possible)
• 1 1/2 tsp garlic, finely minced  (I used extra, like 3-4 cloves)
• 2 1/2 c fresh mushrooms (I minced mine, the original recipe calls for 1/4″ thick slices)
• 2 1/2 c vegetable broth
• 1 1/4 c corn kernels (I use frozen, but leave it out at room temperature when I begin gathering ingredients)
• 5 oz  power greens mix (I prefer finely chopped)
• salt and pepper to taste
