PERFECT SOUTHERN GREENS (KALE, BEET, COLLARD GREENS, MUSTARD)
This recipe yields the best tasting greens I have ever eaten! I have yet to have a batch of bitter greens when cooked this way. This recipe has the potential to change the minds of green-haters and may even bring about a cute southern accent. Blanching the greens before adding to the slow cooker helps remove the natural bitterness. I usually make it with kale and beet greens but other greens work as well. The greens pair well with pilsner or an off-dry riesling, especially if you use the balsamic vinegar.

Steps:
- Tear greens into large pieces and discard the thick vein. Add greens to a pot of boiling salted water (I use kosher salt). Let boil for about 6 minutes. Drain and Rinse.
- While the greens are boiling, preheat a heavy skillet with olive oil, add onion and garlic; sauté until onions are lightly brown, add minced jalapeno peppers and cook for an additional minute or two.
- Put the sautéed onions in the slow-cooker then add the drained greens, ham, bacon, crushed red pepper and water.
- Cook on high for 4 hours or until greens are tender.
- Serve with balsamic vinegar, optional.
