Bulgur Pilaf With Mixed Greens and Garlic

"This recipe is from Nizip, in southeastern Turkey. The secret is cutting the greens into thin strips and steaming them with the bulgur so the grains become infused with the flavor. This is best prepared with Tuscan kale, which is also called black, lacinato or dinosaur kale. Sweet greens include spinach, mache, Swiss chard, pea shoots, young nettles, lamb's quarters and salad burnet. Earthy greens include turnip, beat and collard greens and Tuscan and Russian kale."
