Nice and simple

I started the current batch off with bacon 'ends'. Normally I toss some chopped up bacon in the pan and sauté some garlic and onion to get things going. Then add the greens, a little balsamic vinegar or worcestershire, smoked Spanish paprika, black pepper and salt. Works great with beet greens and/or chard.

Current batch is the 'big pot' method - started off with the 8-qt pot I just cooked green chile in, leaving some of the spicy liquid, then just dumped everything in, along with chicken broth (made from chicken bones and fat, not out of a can) and letting it simmer.

BEETS? do you eat them? If so just scrub them leave the peel on and roast them in a little oil. Soooooooo sweeeeet

I eat everything, including green. Like broccoli, asparagus, spinach, string beans, peas, brussel sprouts, edamame, you name it. It's all good, and it's healthy.

Of course I eat ice cream and chocolate too, so it balances out.

My girlfriend peels them, cuts them up and steams. Very good, but your way sounds better. I have a pile of them, so that will be lunch

Nope. The only greens I prefer are in my salad and I don't cook that.

I did cook about 100 lbs of meat this past weekend though!

Brisket, pork butt, ribs, chicken, corned beef, pastrami. Mmmmmm!
