Horta is the catch-all name for the wild greens that grow on the hills and mountains here. They're somewhat bitter, and usually boiled and served with lemon juice and olive oil. I had no lemons, so I just added some sauteed garlic along with the olive oil. I also added some vegetable bouillon to the water while they were boiling, no idea if this made any difference. It was not bad at all...as good as any I've had in restaurants here. Had with chicken in tomato sauce with oregano and garlic, potatoes, and a glass of Cretan mourvedre from the Monastery of Agarathos.
