Add 2 cups of water and cook until tender. Add more water if necessary. Some people cook mustard greens,collard greens and turnip greens all together in one pot. You can add a spoon of sugar in the water to sweeten the greens. Stir frequently on medium heat so they don’t burn. These go well with black-eyed peas, ham, and cornbread.
