Drain and rinse the garbanzos. Slice the garlic very thin, and saute in one tablespoon of the olive oil until just beginning to brown. Add the sprig of rosemary, and stir for one minute. Remove rosemary. Add rinsed greens, and cook until wilted, adding salt and pepper to taste. If you use kale, you may want to cook a few minutes longer than chard or spinach. Set the greens in a colander to drain any excess liquid, but do not squeeze, or you will lose too many vitamins. Slice the red onion farely thin, and combine all the ingredients. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. |
