4. Stir in the garlic and red pepper flakes.
5. Cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. 
6. Stir in the greens until oil and garlic is evenly distributed. 
7. Add lemon juice.

Recipe Notes
I omitted the boiling of the leaves   It seemed unnecessary.
I reduced the amount of garlic.  I guess that's up to you.  2 cloves seemed excessive. Whew!
Exchanged salt for sea salt.
Replaced lemon wedges with adding the juice while the leaves were cooking.
