- Wash and dry the greens. Discard the large stems and any tough inner ribs. Thinly slice the leaves.
- Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the butter foams, add the onion and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion softens and turns golden, about 10 minutes. Stir in the apple and cook, stirring often, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
- Add the greens one handful at a time and stir to coat with the butter and oil. Let each addition cook down a little before adding the next. Cook, tossing the greens constantly with tongs, just until they wilt, 1 to 3 minutes, depending on the size and type of the greens.
- Add the salt, pepper, and 1⁄2 cup of the stock. Cover the pan and simmer until tender, 1 to 5 minutes. Add a splash of the remaining stock if the greens get dry. Check the seasoning and serve warm.
- What else works? You can use a chopped ripe tomato instead of the apple.
