John,

I made up a recipe very similar to this and love it. It is really good with Kale too.

Nice - I didn't know New Englanders appreciated good southern food

I've used mustard greens for it before, too. I love it - it reminds me of the real deal (made with pork bacon), which you can't eat unless it's together with cornbread cooked in an iron skillet.

I love greens. I just made mine with beet greens.

Added a medium red onion, a tsp of red pepper flakes, and 1 tbsp red wine vinegar at the end. Apple cider vinegar would have been better, but what are you going to do?

And, to think, all these years, I've been tossing out the beet greens.
