If you love your greens, you will love this pot (or pan) of Cooked Greens with Figs because it brings together so many yummy flavors. When tastes that are bitter, sweet, and a little pungent are combined in a dish, it’s going to be more exciting to your tongue!

You can use any of your favorite greens, and they are so easy to make. I started by caramelizing a Vidalia onion, but if you’re in a rush, you could skip this flavor enhancer. I love the unique flavor of collards, but it can take a lot of time to chop enough to fill a pot. So instead, I used about 12 good-sized collard leaves and a pound of baby spinach.
