Sweet Potatoes and Greens

I have been procrastinating about making this dish for a couple of weeks. I found it in the People magazine of all things! My sister came over for a visit today and she dove in and helped me with the prep (which was pretty pathetically minimal at best) and we created this masterpiece! We just couldn't get enough of it. The whole dish was wiped out tonight!

2 or 3 large sweet potatoes
2 bunches of greens (chard, kale or collards)
2 cloves of garlic, minced (I used like 4)
juice of half of 1 lemon
1 tsp. honey
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
salt and pepper
1/4 T. olive or vegetable oil (we added a little sesame oil for fun)

Peel and cut sweet potatoes into bite-size pieces. (The size of the pieces is less important than making them uniform).

Heat half the oil in pan over medium heat and add potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just brown on all sides and soft. (About 12-15 minutes, depending on size. If the potatoes become very dark before they are soft, reduce heat.) When they are cooked, add spices and salt and pepper to taste. Set aside.

While the potatoes are cooking, wash the greens (do not dry), remove stems and cut leaves into small pieces. Heat remaining oil over medium heat, add the garlic and cook for a minute before adding greens. Stir often and cook until tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Combine potatoes, honey and lemon juice with the greens, stir and serve.

Makes 4 servings.
