My wife and I like greens, so we are always looking for new recipes for them, and this one worked very well. It is easy to make, and if you like garlic, you will enjoy this dish.

This is a delicious dish! I halve the recipe and used napa cabbage, spinach, and swiss chard(what I happened to have on hand). I used the full amount of sherry and seasonings. I did add 1/2 cup water to the greens and let them cook about 8-10 more minutes. Absolutely wonderful! Thanks Bergy!!!

Quite wonderful, even though I thought the parmesan cheese overpowered the other flavours. I used spinach, and cinnamon instead of allspice, which I didn't have. I also omitted the sherry and used garlic powder. I'd love to try this with cabbage next. Thanks for posting, Bergy!
