--------  ------------  --------------------------------
 12       c            Mixed greens -- such as
                       - Mustard, Arugula,
                       - Watercress, Dandelion,
                       - Kale, Spinach, Chard,
                       - Escarole or others
  4       lg           Garlic cloves
                       Salt
  2       lg           Handfuls Italian parsley
                       -(leaves), chopped finely
  1                    Handfuls cilantro leaves,
                       - (or more), chopped finely
  3       tb           Fruity olive oil
  2       ts           Paprika
  2       ts           Ground cumin
  1                    Lemon -- cut in wedges

 MAKE A MIXTURE OF GREENS TO SUIT your taste. Cut away the stems and stalks
 and wash the leaves. Set the greens in a steamer, with the tougher greens
 on the bottom. Cover and steam until tender, about 10 minutes. Or, cook
 each type of green separately in boiling, salted water, until done. Let
 cool a few minutes in a colander, then squeeze out the extra liquid and
 chop roughly. Pound the garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt together in a mortar
 until finely broken down, then add the parsley and cilantro and continue
 working until you have a rough paste. Or, combine the garlic, salt and
 herbs in a food processor and work until everything is fine. You may need
 to add a little olive oil. Warm the olive oil with the paprika and cumin.
 When it begins to smell good, add the herb paste and mix the 2 together.
 Next add the greens and cook everything together for a minute or so until
 any excess moisture has evaporated. Taste and season with salt, if
 necessary. Pile into a serving dish and garnish with the wedges of lemon.
