This recipe is typically used together with another main dish recipe found on this blog.

I saw these delectable greens at the market and couldn’t wait to cook them up. They are great in salads or as a side dish. I include them in my Beer Brisket recipe.  Loaded with folate, vitamin c, potassium, phosphorus, magnesium, iron,  and magnesium these greens are sure to get you feeling healthy.  You can discard the stems if you prefer.  I like the crunchy, woody taste of them so I left mine in.
