Fried Eggs with Wild Greens and Onions
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup Virgin Coconut Oil
- 10 green onions, minced
- 2 pounds mixed greens: such as nettles, lamb’s-quarter, spinach, swiss chard, kale, etc., washed and sliced
- 1 cup chopped parsley
- 1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
- 6 cloves garlic, smashed and minced
- 1/2 cup water
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 6 eggs
Directions:
Heat 1/2 cup Virgin Coconut Oil in a 5-quart pot over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 10 minutes. Add greens, parsley, mint, garlic, and 1/2 cup water. Season with salt and pepper. Cook gently, stirring occasionally until greens are tender, 15–20 minutes. Remove from heat.
Heat 1/4 cup coconut oil in an 12-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add more coconut oil if necessary.
Working in two batches, crack eggs into skillet, constantly spooning oil over yolks until they are just set, about 2 minutes.
Using a slotted spoon, transfer eggs to a plate.
Divide greens between serving plates and top each with a fried egg. Grind more fresh pepper and salt on top.
Serve with slices of toasted bread.
