Any ideas on how to cook/what to do with braising greens mix

stanleh

It's in our box this week and I have no idea what to do with it.  Alot of it looks like salad greens we got last week, is this just another name for salad greens?

I also have salad turnips left from last week that I need to find something to do with, if anyone has any suggestions..........

Thx!

You can prepare braising greens like you would fresh spinach, or baby kale, etc. Saute, steam, stir-fry, add to soups, etc. etc.

My favorite way to prep them is to saute/stir-fry in a wok with fresh garlic. I usually either season them Chinese-style (with some chili paste, a splash of soy sauce, a little vinegar, a bit of sugar), or Italian-ish style (with balsamic vinegar, pine nuts, currents, topped with shaved parmesan).

DROOL.  To add one to the list, I usually do Southern Style.  Cook 3-4 slices of bacon until crisp, remove and crumble, retaining drippings in pan.  Cook 1 chopped onion in drippings until golden, add 1 tbsp minced garlic and cook until fragrant.  Add chopped greens, and cook 15-20 mins until well wilted and soft.  Stir in crumbled bacon.

This is DH's favorite side dish.  We would have it every night if I let him.

We chop braising greens up and cook them down and use them in southwestern tacos. It's one of our favorites.

Are braising greens the lettuce leaves or the kale/chard leaves?

I just use the lettuce leaves for salad and sandwiches but the kale I chop up into my spagetti sauce.
