Remove the stems before blanching and chop up greens after ice water plunge. Makes it easier to scoop up all of the leaves from the ice water. This recipe was fantastic! Very lemony and bright, and hides the mustardy flavor of the greens in case you want to serve it to those who aren't mustard green fans. I ate it straight up and later added to a grilled cheese sandwich, which was equally fantastic!
