jes fixed up my half-a-batch o' beet greens. Used this recipe:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A-gKSLLC2e0

They were quite good!

I added a couple sprinkles of some off-the-shelf (OTS) balsamic vinegar.
I still have half the amount, as the greens on the two bunches were
HUGE (first time I ever got tired of cleaning "greens").

I may hafta buy more canning jars.

They do NOT taste like Kale, if that's what you mean. I don't like kale.

But, I LOVE greens! I cooked mine in a pat of browned sweet butter, 4
med garlic cloves, loosely chopped, cooked on med heat in an enameled
skillet. I added a light sprinkle of salt. Very tasty

They tasted kinda sweet, like collard greens or chard, not as "peppery"
as mustard greens, I'd go so far as to call 'em my favorite.

Ok, thanks! But garlic pretty much makes everything tasty. :-)

True dat!

Due to the redness of the stems of the greens, the garlic turns pink.
It's a great indicator of "doneness".

Pink garlic ina bed o' wilted greens. Who'da thunk it. Tastes great,
though.

I may be in the minority here, but I sure ain't gonna watch 3.5
minute "recipe" when I could just look at a written recipe for 10
seconds (and still have plenty of time leftover to write this post).

I think mustard greens are very mild flavored.

Many of the "greens" are just crap leaves that slaves ate. They
got plantation leftovers and learned how to make all the scraps
work for meals. Some good "soul food" aka slave food though, I'll
admit.

I wonder if home gardeners actually plant mustard though. They
must have the faith of a mustard seed if they waste garden space
for that crap.

I'm kidding for you that don't understand "dry humor"

PS - Speaking of worthless leaves...KALE. Since the recent
discussion about kale, I actually bought a bunch and am going to
cook them today. No recipe this time, I'm going to use them in a
soup. That should work. I only bought some because I learned they
are a "super food" as far as nutrition goes. Hey, I'm willing to
try and learn something new.

Be sure to trim the leaves away from the tough stems and discard them.
They're useless compost. Finely chop the kale leaves before you add it
to the soup. Kale tends to be pretty tough.

I used to buy kale for my lovebird. She loved it. Me, not so much.

D loves the Kale, 'Cavolo Nero' I grow just for him. The only cooking they
get is a light steaming.

I saw on some cooking show on Public Broadcasting, trim the tough stems
away and then finely chop the leaves. Saute them in a little oil and
butter along with several smashed cloves of garlic. I doubt that will
make me like kale but it did look pretty.

Unless they are super tough, I chop the separated stems from kale and
other greens and cook them with onions and garlic and other aromatics
for soups and stews. I either use them in the same dish as the greens
or save them for a different dish, depending on how I am using the
greens. They add a nice flavor to a dish.

I never ate Kale, that I know of. But I'll always remember my
grandmother Bailey. Sometimes when I asked her "whats for supper
granny?" ... She would answer "Cold kale and calf shit."

LOL

And granny squeezed your head for the calf shit after she sucked your
widdle pecker dry. LOL-LOL I bet your granny had huge bosoms like
Hereford cow udders... Popeye knew your granny very intimately.

That goes to show that kale makes everything you have with it, taste
good.

Kale has more lutein for our eyes and more vit K than other greens.

My eye doc said the darker green the veggie, the better for your eyes.
