Ribs and greens are a classic combination. Instead of simmering ours in a flavorful broth, long and low, we toss frozen greens in a baking pan with a little bit of salt and lay a rack of ribs over the top. The meaty juices cook into the greens and by the time the meat is done, the greens are soft and full of flavor. If we're feeling particularly fancy we toss them with a vinaigrette or marinade before cooking them, but the meat juices and some salt are more than enough to make them delicious. It's not exactly a weeknight dinner, because the ribs need 2-3 hours at 300°F to cook properly but it is a "fix it and forget it" kind of meal that gives you great rewards.
