I got the basics for this recipe from a woman I met while picking over butter (lima) beans at the farmer's market. It is similar to a standard southern collards recipe; I used Swiss chard because I had it, but go ahead and use collards or perhaps even kale. Personally, I'd stick with fresh beans. This tastes like a whole different vegetable than the one I remember from my childhood.
