Method

Tear the mustard green and chard leaves from the tough center stalks, discarding the stalks.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the sugar (this helps retain the bright color of the greens). Add the mustard greens to the boiling water and cook until wilted, 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove and drain the mustard green leaves, pressing on the greens
