Eat them in a salad like lettuce. We like our salads with lemon juice, celery, tomato, cucumbers and carrots.
Or you can wilt them and serve them with butter. Bring about 1 cup of water to boil in a pan. Drop in the green, cover, remove from heat, and wait about 5 minutes. Then serve with salt. pepper, and melted butter. Lemon pepper or lemon juice would be a good addition.
Why lemon juice? Greens are alkaline so the acid in the juice brings balance to the flavor. Good stuff! They are a treasure, to be sure. Freeze what you don't eat and you can sneak it into spagetti sauce, cheesy pizza or broccoli soup.
