Instructions
  1. Place ¼ cup of water, all greens and salt in pressure cooker or thick bottom pan.
  2. Cook for 2 whistles in pressure cooker. If cooking in pan, close the lid and cook for 30 minutes on medium high heat.
  3. Once cooked, mix thoroughly so that cooked greens are mashed. If you prefer, you can lightly pulse with hand blender. If you don't have hand blender, you can use regular blender. Make sure to not grind to paste. Couple of pulses are enough.
