- .SK 1
- Wash the greens carefully about
- 5 times (like spinach, they can hide an incredible amount of grit) by
- soaking, then swishing in the water, then shaking out above the water
- and checking for dirt in the water. Repeat until there has been no grit
- twice.

- .NX
- How long you allow mustard greens to cook is a matter of taste.
- Traditionally, they are cooked to death (in excess of
- an hour). I prefer them cooked for about 10\-15 minutes after wilting. It
- is not usually necessary to add water, but do not allow them to dry out.
- There should be some ``pot liquor'' in the bottom when you're done, which
- people normally fight over.
- .SH RATING
- .I Difficulty:
- easy.
- .I Time:
- 10 minutes preparation, 30 minutes cooking.
- .I Precision:
- no need to measure.
