How about 6th century?
Mustard Greens
Anthimus, De Observatio Ciborum
Mustard greens are good, boiled in salt and oil. They should be eaten
either cooked on the coals or with bacon, and vinegar to suit the
taste should be put in while they are cooking. [end of original]
1 1/4 lb mustard greens (including smaller stems)
1 t salt
3 T oil
4 slices bacon
4 t vinegar
Wash mustard greens. Boil stems two minutes, then add leaves, boil 6
more minutes and drain. Fry bacon or cook 6 minutes in microwave.
Heat oil, add greens and stir, then add salt and cook five minutes.
Crumble bacon and put over greens with vinegar. Stir it all up and
cook another 3 minutes.
