Cooking greens
There are a few ways to cook greens. This is how I like to cook them:
I wash each leaf individually and inspect for dirt, insects and insect eggs. I recently picked some greens that had lots of eggs on them. I shake the water off the leaves into the sink. Then I stack the greens up, roll them up and slice them into pieces about 1/2 inch wide. If the stems are thick and tough, you might want to remove that before you roll and cut.
Sometimes I start with some bacon cut into small pieces and fry it until it is well done. If I am using bacon, I remove the bacon and some of the bacon grease and now cook garlic and onion. If not, I saute a little garlic and finely chopped onion in a little olive oil.
I put the washed and cut up greens in the pan with the garlic, onion and bacon and stir fry for a minute or two. I put a little water (or broth) in the pan with the greens, put a lid on and let them steam for a minute or two.
Many people overcook greens. I prefer them a little undercooked. They have more nutritional value that way.
One thing that is good to eat with greens is cornbread.
Green are supposed to be one of the easiest things to grow in a garden and have lots of nutritional value.
