Instructions

🎙️ Cook with voice coach

Thoroughly wash the Pokeweed Greens, removing any tough stems or discolored leaves.
Place the Greens in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Drain the water.
Repeat the boiling and draining process two more times, each time using fresh cold water. This is crucial for removing toxins.
After the third boil, drain the Greens and place them in a bowl.
Combine the Apple Cider Vinegar, Salt, Black Pepper, and Olive Oil in a small bowl. Whisk to combine.
Pour the Seasoning over the drained Greens and toss to coat evenly.
Serve immediately.
