Nice. I've been on a crazy kale and chard kick lately. Love that stuff.
One of my favorite versatile preps for greens and beans from Mark Bittman:
Presoak beans (overnight or quick soak).
Put beans in pot, cover with water.
Cut a slice in a whole onion. Stuff with a couple of bay leaves and a couple of cloves. Place in pot with beans.
Bring to boil.
Simmer 30 minutes.
As beans begin to become tender, salt them.
Cook another 15 minutes or so and add kale/turnip greens/chard/spinach.
Cook another 15 minutes until greens and beans are both tender.
The real magic is in the finish, though. Mince up a tablespoon or two of garlic. In the final two minutes of cooking, throw in the fresh garlic and a heavy round or two of olive oil.
Top with diced tomatoes.
Now, you can do this with any combination of beans and any combination of greens. Alter the topping according to preference (tomatoes, avocado, onions, whatever). This is a badass, versatile recipe that is so simple, pure, and delicious.
