I haven’t really cooked greens before

Hmmm... well, the way I like my greens is to wash 'em good. Takes several washings sometimes. Then I put them in a pan with salt pork, ham or bacon. If I don't have meat I use about a half a stick of butter. Cook 'em on low heat so they'll steam in their own juices, add salt and pepper to taste and a little lemon juice or cider vinegar.

Oh, an if I'm using turnip greens plain or in a mix with other greens I dice up a turnip in there to cook with the greens. Add a little more vinegar when there's a turnip or two in the pot. and maybe some extra butter. MMMmmmm...

If you add about a tablespoon of salt to the gallon of water, the bugs and dirt will come off your greens and float to the top.
