  1. In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Add diced onion; cook 5 minutes, until softened. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.
  2. Add chopped tomatoes and grated ginger and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in chopped greens (preferably blanched). Mix well, cover and cook 5 minutes, until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
