Thanks, I just tore them off the large center rib like deveining spinach and then into pieces. When I was steaming them I kept checking for tenderness but they just went from tough to dried out and papery! Obviously that was over cooked at that point but perhaps they were over cooked already the first time I checked them. What amount of cooking time is normal? Also forgot to mention that I steamed them in my micro wave, Is that a "no, no"?
I live in a small town and have a very small lot but maybe I'll try growing these in my flower bed, since they are HB for O's, if I can master cooking them that is! Picking them young would seem to be the best and of course in the store all I can find are bunches that have great big leaves.
Thanks,
Teri
