great greens

I just made greens tonight with a recipe from the back of the Trader Joe's mixed cooking greens bag and they were really wonderful. The mix is collard greens, mustard greens, turnip greens, and spinach.

The (slightly modified) recipe:

1 lb. of mixed cooking greens
1 white onion, chopped
1/2 cup green onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tbsp. olive oil
1 cup V8 juice (the original recipe called for tomato juice)
1 cup chicken broth (the original recipe called for vegetable broth)
salt, pepper, and marjoram to taste

1. Saute the onions and garlic in olive oil until the onions are translucent.
2. Add the V8 juice and broth, bring to a boil.
3. Add the greens and simmer, covered, for about 30 mins.

That's it! Very easy and very, very good. I've rarely been this excited about mustard greens.
