Here is a classic Italian recipe for greens.
Chard is best but you can use any "green"
The traditional recipe:
saute' a bit of garlic or onion in olive oil until
perfectly cooked
(if using chard first add chopped stems and cook until
tender)
then put in washed and chopped greens, turn down heat,
cover and cook until slightly wilted
add raisons and sqeeze of lemon
cook for another minute or so
add toasted pine nuts
done
You can vary this by using different nuts, adding
lemon zest, or replacing whole cumin seeds for the
garlic and onions!

I'm pretty sure I meant raisins!
Also we tend to keep some simple steamed greens around for snacks.
Yesterday I had a tortilla filled with Mavericks collards and some sauted Summer Oyster mushrooms that were growin' out in the backyard! Thats pretty local.
