Cooking Greens

Jeff serves up some additional variations on cooking greens. That's right, any of our hardy greens: kale, kohlrabi, turnip greens, pac choi . . .   Enjoy!

Using any coarsely chopped greens and stems, steam until wilted.
Take steamer from pot and set greens aside.
Add soup bouillon to water, dissolve bouillon fully, and then return greens to the pot.
Stir and serve!

And to jazz this up, consider these options:
1. Before steaming the greens, steam other veggies first. You can try garlic scapes, onions, and later in the season, zucchini. When these have cooked a bit, add the greens as directed above.

2. Add a hard-boiled egg or two.

3. Serve the dish over grain or pasta

4. Season with fresh herbs.
