Instructions:

Strip the greens from the stalks and wash in cold water to which the 1/4 cup of salt has been added. Wash 3 or 4 times more in cold water or until the water is free of grit and sand. Drain thoroughly. In a large pot, put 2 quarts of boiling water, the bacon and the onion. Boil for half an hour. Add all the greens, and salt to taste. Make the dumplings, drop them in on top of the greens, cover tightly and simmer over low heat for 30 minutes. Add the crushed red peppers just before the dumplings for extra flavor. Serve the greens surrounded by the dumplings with the bacon  over the greens. Serves 6
