Name: Wilted Watercress with Garlic
Cook time: 15 min
Total time: 15 min
Yield: Makes 8 (side dish) servings
Ingredients: 2 tablespoon corn oil; 12 garlic cloves, peeled and smashed; 4 bunches watercress (about 20 ounces), trimmed (about 12 packed cups); 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt; 1/4 cup chicken stock or reduced-sodium broth

This really simple, really beautiful stir-fry of earthy, bright green watercress is a "tumble of yum," in the words of food editor Maggie Ruggiero, who tested Reusings recipes.
