Bob, I cook all greens one of two ways, either steaming about 10 minutes 
(eat them plain or with hot pepper vinegar) or "wilting" them in a saute 
pan with a little olive oil and garlic. For kales I sometimes make a nut 
sauce with cashews or sunflower seeds I heat in a skillet and then 
blenderize them with garlic, lemon juice or balsamic vinegar. If you 
want the Southern flavor you can add a few drops of liquid smoke to the 
greens during the wilting.

I don't cook with butter. I love the stuff so much I prefer it in chunks 
on my morning toast.

I think I will pick and cook some greens today, but the only way I cook them is the Southern Way in water with pieces of fatty pork .  Hoe exactly can you make the greens tender and edible just using butter?
