simply rustic greens
Easy, easy, easy! Bagged pre-washed greens of your choice make this so easy. I use raw sugar because it cuts through any bitterness of the greens without adding too much sweetness. You can use water or broth for steaming/wilting. I use water. I have served this as a main dish with corn bread and as a side with fish. A family crowd pleaser.
