When I return home to Upstate NY my dear friend and I always try and do lunch. One year she took me to an amazing restaurant for she new I loved GREENS. And when you grow up in the CNY area that is one dish thats as common as French Fries on a plate w/ burgers. These Greens were far different than the ones I was very use to and oh did I savor every bite. When I received the recipe on how to make them I was thrilled. I honestly make this dish not as a side but as my entree with a glass of white wine and some crusty bread and I'm back home w/ friends even though they are 8 hours away.
