and saute for about 2 minutes over medium heat.

2. Add the mushrooms, One half tsp. salt, thyme and sage.

3. Stir and cook over medium heat for about 5 minutes, then add the greens,
garlic, and remaining salt.

5. Add the broth, water, or wine, and wait until it bubbles. Sprinkle in
the flour, stirring as you sprinkle.
