Quickly sautéed hardy greens are a staple side dish for busy nights. But when you have 20 more minutes to spare, cook down piles of greens with well-browned onions, LOTS of garlic, and a handful of Parm to render them into something special. Don’t even think about skimping on the garlic; using a halved head adds a lot to the dish, but because the cloves mostly stay contained, it won’t be overwhelming. Promise.
