Ingredients

• 2 cup Broccoli Greens, cooked (which is about 15 large raw leaves)
• 1/4 cup Green Onion, chopped
• 5 sprigs Fresh Rosemary, minced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• ****2 Tbsp Bacon Grease
  
• 1 tsp Salt and Pepper, to taste

Process

1. Wash broccoli greens and remove stems (including the primary vein bisecting the leaves).
2. Tear broccoli leaves into small pieces, chop green onion, mince garlic and rosemary.
3. Heat the bacon grease****  in a large soup pot or french oven over medium high heat. 
   
4. Saute green onion and garlic for 2 minutes, then add the broccoli greens and rosemary. Saute for 10-15 minutes, stirring often - it will be finished when the garlic and onions soften and the broccoli greens are wilted.

**** Made vegetarian by substituting butter and a tsp of Better Than Bullion Mushroom Broth for bacon grease.
