British Spring Greens are pretty much my favourite food in the universe, I could eat them all year round.

Picked a huge bunch of chard from the garden - sweated sweet onion in bacon fat with some crushed red chiles, threw in the chopped stems and then the leaves. Really good.

so you cooked it in bacon fat and it was good

Yeah, I know. Doh. Normally it's with garlic in olive oil. Also good.

I agree about mustard greens, they have that tartness. You need them for saag paneer - yum. I substitute tofu because dairy products gave me bad gas and bloat.

I had some really good mustard greens last night. (Also had sweetbreads for the first time.)

yea love all those spicy greens. broccoli rabe could easily be my favorite vegetable. dandelion is great, too. i love all kinds of arugula from when it's tender and young and good for salads to when it's older and hot and mustardy as fuck.
i don't want to be that farmers market elitist but kale has to be one of my least favorite greens. either that or it's just too easy to fuck up. so many times i've had it in restaurants and it's either chewy and burnt or its mushy and overcooked.

best way to ensure good kale texture imo is to dunk it in a pot of boiling water and then saute lightly in a skillet (w/ garlic & olive oil obviously, sesame oil is good too)
