Yesterday, a gentleman was asking about how to use the cooking greens we received. I had done some research prior to the pickup, and found several recipes that appealed to me, as well as advice from friends both Northerners and Southerners.
The simplest one said:
Steam lightly, add a slosh of your choice of vinegar, and eat.
Another that looked tasty and healthy, was Smokin' Hopping John, from the Washington Post on May 18th. (You do need to sign in to get to the food section on the WP, but I usually just use my e-mail and a throwaway as a password). For some reason, I cannot copy and paste the recipe here, which is why I give you the website and login info.

For any ingredient you are not familiar with, a simple search using the terms "recipe: ingredient" will bring up more recipes than you can use in a lifetime! Pick one or two that have other ingredients in your pantry, that sound good to your taste buds, and have at it.
Red Planet grows chemical-free vegetables in and around Providence. We've always been independent but we also believe in hyper-local food and collective endeavor. Since our inception we have been lucky enough to find support within a vibrant local food community. If you are reading this there's a good chance that you've been a part of the struggle for good vegetables grown in Rhode Island dirt, and you've been a friend to us. We really can't thank you enough.
I'll see if Matt wants to get on that. He likes writing about the history of the farm.
