Directions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, heat oil. Cook onion and garlic until onion is translucent, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir occasionally.
  2. Add umeboshi paste, stirring until combined, about 1 minute.
  3. Stir in greens; season with salt and black pepper. Cook until greens are just wilted, 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Add milk, nutritional yeast, and cayenne to a skillet and bring to a simmer. Cook until greens are tender and liquid is thickened slightly, about 8 minutes.
  5. Season with salt and black pepper. Sprinkle with more nutritional yeast, if desired.
  6. Preparing ahead: Greens can be made 2 days ahead. Let cool, then transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate.
