I am growing Swiss Chard, Kale, two types of spinach, and collard greens. Since there are two of us at this house, I grow small amounts of each. So when I harvest, I pick some from each type. My harvest was big for me today, so I washed all the greens, including beet greens cut from a bunch of beets purchased at the Farmer's Market this morning. First, I sautéed the collard greens, beet and chard stems, and added fresh garlic near the finish. Then I piled the rest of the leafy pile in the pot, added salt and cooked on low until they were all tender. Needless to say, there was enough for two. I took half and piled it into a bowl, added a few cherry tomatoes, sprinkled with a bit of EVOO, and pomegranate balsamic and enjoyed the bounty of my garden. The sweet cherry tomatoes were a nice addition.
Do you ever mix your greens like this?
