Sweet Potatoes, Apples, and Braising Greens

YUM.

From Traci Des Jardins. Recipe included in our Tuttle's Tote.

Ingredients:
~2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced thinly
~5 tbs. unsalted butter
~1 tbs. salt
~2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
~2 medium or 1 large apple (I used a honeycrisp), sliced and cut into chunks
~3 cups loosely packed braising greens, such as kale, mizuna, mustard greens, arugula, and bok choy, stems removed and torn into 2-inch strips

1. Toss potato slices with olive oil, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Scatter onto baking sheet and bake for 20 minutes at 400 degrees.
2. In a medium-sized skillet, melt 3 tbs. butter over medium heat. Add apples and saute until tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes.
3. In a large pot over medium heat, combine remaining 2 tbs. butter and 3 tbs. water. Add greens and saute, stirring occasionally, until wilted (about 5 minutes). Lower heat and add sweet potatoes and apples. Continue cooking until completely warmed through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in remaining 2 tsp. salt and 1 and 1/2 tsp. pepper. Serve hot.
