Set the grilled items aside.
Saute in a skillet on medium heat with olive oil:
- One diced onion, once it smells sweet add

- Two cloves of minced garlic. Continue to saute for 5 minutes.
Turn up the heat to medium high and add
- tender greens that can be quickly sauteed like.
- Brussels sprout tops
- chard
- spring kales
- mustards and even
- lettuce that is a bit past its prime
Assemble the mezze ingredients on a large platter
- Arrange the grilled or roasted veggies in separate sections, the sauteed greens in another.
