Braised Winter Greens with Bacon and Garlic

8     slices bacon
9     large cloves garlic (coarse chopped)
3 lbs winter greens
2 c   chicken broth
2 T   yellow mustard seeds
2 T   red wine vinegar
salt & pepper

I used one large bunch of chard? and one large
bunch of black kale.

Cut ribs out of leaves.  Cut ribs into 1" pieces
and leaves crosswise into 1" strips.
 
Cook bacon till it can be crumbled into baco-bits.
remove bacon from pan and maybe remove some of the
fat.  

Add the garlic to the hot fat and cook a little,
then add the rib pieces and cook until they show
a little tenderness.

Add the leaves and cook until wilted.  Add the chicken
broth and simmer until leaves are tender; maybe 25
minutes and maybe not.

Drain off excessive liquid.  Add baco-bits, 
mustard seeds, salt, pepper, vinegar, whatever
and serve.
