Editors Review
This recipe works well with all kinds of greens -- kale, collards,Swiss chard, escarole, etc. The greens turn out tender, without being sopping wet, as they are when simply boiled. Serve drizzled with vinegar or lemon juice and even the the pickiest eaters or kids will ask for seconds.Chef
