Dr. Norris J. Chumley’s Greens Gratin<\/u><\/b><\/p>\n
Serves 4<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1 small bunch beet greens (save the beets and cook them separately for another dish)<\/p>\n
1 small bunch greens – kale, chard, spinach – as you like and what’s available<\/p>\n
2 large, ripe tomatoes<\/p>\n
\u00be cup bread crumbs<\/p>\n
\u00bd cup shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Saut\u00e9 the beet tops and greens together with 1 tsp olive oil and 1\/8 cup water in a covered skillet. While they’re cooking, prepare an 8″x8″ baking pan (preferably glass or ceramic) and preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Slice the tomatoes thinly and and place 3 or 4 slices on the bottom of the baking dish. Add a thin sprinkling of bread crumbs. Now, add a layer of greens (not fully cooked, just lightly braised), and a layer of shredded cheese. Repeat the layering with the tomatoes, bread crumbs, greens and cheese. Make the top layer bread crumbs with a tiny bit of the cheese. Bake, covered, for 30-40 minutes until the mixture is bubbling. Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5-10 minutes, covered, before serving.<\/p>\n
