Description
Using bagged greens that have already been washed and chopped simplifies the process, but if you can’t find bagged greens, use two pounds of bunched greens—stems and greens—and then wash and coarsely chop them yourself
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salt
- 2 pounds washed and chopped hearty greens, such as kale, collards, mustard or turnip greens
Instructions
- Bring 2 quarts of water to boil in a large pot. Add salt and the greens; stir until greens have wilted enough to be submerged. Cover and cook until the greens are just tender, about 7 minutes. Drain the greens and rinse until cool with cold water. Squeeze excess water from the cooked greens and give them a rough chop. (Can be covered and refrigerated for a week or more.) When ready, proceed with one of the following recipes.
