• 1 acorn squash
• 1 bunch “Dino”-Kale
• 1 bunch watercress
• 2 baby bok-choy
• ½- cup fresh Italian parsley (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
• ¼ cup fresh basil (or 1 tablespoon dried basil)
• ½-tablespoon dried dill
• 2 pinches of coriander
• a pinch of cayenne pepper
• 1-2 pinches of powdered ginger
• a pinch of thyme
• 1/3-teaspoon sweet red paprika
• 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
• 2-3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• ½ a medium size red onion
• 4-5 cloves of fresh garlic
• ¼ -cup of extra virgin olive oil
• 1 cup (or more if needed) of organic veggie broth (or water)
• 1 cup (or more, if flavor demands) of Plain Goat Yogurt
• Indian Naan bread (herb or garlic), or other flat bread—or, if preferred, tortilla chips or crackers

Cooking & Preparation:

Acorn Squash:

• Cut acorn squash in half & scoop out & discard the seeds.
• Fill a big pot with 3-4 inches of water & place squash halves side-by-side, face down in the water; cover pot & set stove burner to ‘high’ until water boils, then lower heat to ‘medium’ & cook until squash is soft enough to insert a fork easily through the skin.
• Remove acorn squash halves from water, let cool, then peel & divide—one half to be refrigerated for future meals (as a side-dish), while the other half goes into blender.

Greens:

• Wash kale & remove from hard stems (spines)—ending with shredded leaves.
• Wash bok-choy, separate leaves & cut large ones into 2-3 pieces.
• Wash fresh parsley, watercress & basil & shred or remove from main (but not the smaller) stems. (You may keep the watercress stems on, but then it is best to chop before cooking.)
• Chop onion coarsely & sweep it from cutting board into a big pot. Add the olive oil, mix well, turn stove burner to a bit lower than medium (olive oil is a low-heat fat) & sauté slowly, mixing it now & then, until it turns glassy.
• Chop the garlic; add to onion, mix & sauté together for about 10 more seconds
• Add all greens (kale, bok-choy, watercress, fresh parsley & basil) to pot that contains sautéed onion & garlic; mix well to coat greens with them & the olive oil; keep mixing for 3-4 seconds then…
• Add half of the veggie broth (or water); mix well; cover pot & cook on low heat for 5 minutes. Add broth or water as needed, while the greens cook, so they don’t burn, & to have some sauce when they are cooked.
• Mix herbs dill & other dry herbs (including parsley & basil if fresh are not available) & spices in a plate & add to greens; add the Worcestershire sauce & apple cider vinegar & mix well.
• Cover pot & cook until all greens are still crunchy but wilted & easy to chew.
