Intro
You can make this dish with any greens you have on hand, spinach, kale, swiss chard, or collard . The softer spinach and chard make for a silkier dish, while sturdy kale and collard greens give it more heft. Just adjust the cooking time as needed to make sure your greens are thoroughly tender.
