I am a Southern girl and love fresh greens -- turnip, collard, mustard, kale -- cooked the old-fashioned way, slow-simmered with a little ham or bacon, sugar, and seasonings. However, I wonder how others cook fresh greens. Are there ways to stir-fry or otherwise cook them in ways that are faster and perhaps preserve more of the nutrients and natural flavor?

I tried stir-frying kale recently. It cooked down very quickly, but was as tough as shoe leather without the prolonged simmering. Can you quick stir-fry greens?
