Ingredients

  • ¾ cup water, or broth, for a bit extra flavor
  • 1 cup salsa verde

Preparation Instructions

In a skillet over medium heat, add the coconut oil if using and toss in the chopped greens. If not using the coconut oil, add a splash of water. Saute or steam until just barely wilted. Transfer to a food processor or blender with at least half of the water and half of the salsa.

Puree the sauce.

Transfer back to the skillet and bring up to a simmer. Add the remaining salsa.

If you want a smoother sauce add more water as needed. If you want the sauce to be thicker, just continue to simmer to your desired consistency.
