Great recipe!! I enjoyed the lighter, yet still seasoned flavor--not quite as decadent as traditional greens cooked in salt pork, but still delicious! I also liked the texture and appearance of these greens better--they had just the slightest firmness to them and a nice deep green color (traditional greens tend to look muddy and are very soft. In contrast to other reviews, I thought the spicing was perfect--just a touch of red pepper taste. I did add a few drops of Louisiana hot sauce to mine at the supper table--delish!! I did not have tomatoes on hand, but I did have a leftover minced red bell pepper in the fridge which I added midway through cooking. This added nice flavor and color. I look forward to making these again. Thanks, Sunny!
