Directions
Cut the leavy portion into ¼ inch slices to ensure they cook al denté.
Cut stems into ¾ inch slices because if they are cut too thin, they will become watery.
Let stems and leaves sit for at least 5 minutes to enhance their health-promoting benefits.
Chop or press garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes.
Heat 3 tablespoons broth over medium heat in a stainless steel skillet.
When broth begins to steam, add stems and cook uncovered for 1 minute.
Add leaves, cover and continue cooking for 3 more minutes
Toss with lemon juice, olive oil, garlic, and sunflower seeds.
Salt and pepper to taste.
