Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

2 tablespoons pine nuts
2 medium shallots, thinly sliced into rings, separated
1/2 cup vegetable oil
Kosher salt
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for serving
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 pound hardy greens, ribs and stems removed if needed, leaves torn
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
Freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup labneh (Lebanese strained yogurt) or plain Greek yogurt

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Preheat oven to 350°F. Toast nuts on a small rimmed baking sheet, tossing occasionally, until golden brown, 6–8 minutes. Let cool.

    Step 2

    Combine shallots and vegetable oil in a small saucepan. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until shallots are golden, 8–10 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer shallots to a paper towel– lined plate; season with salt.

    Step 3

    Heat 3 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add greens in batches, tossing to wilt slightly before adding more, about 2 minutes. Add lemon juice and toss; season with salt and pepper.

    Step 4

    Serve greens with a dollop of labneh; top with lemon zest, shallots, nuts, and olive oil.
