Memaw's Collard Greens

Thu, 17 May 2001 18:35:13 -0400

My Memaw was a great cook of southern soul food and she taught me this recipe. When I got married, I made it a tradition in my family. The kids know the minute they walk into the house that Dad's making greens (the aroma fills the air). And no matter where we have our holiday meals or who is in charge of the menu, I insist on bringing the greens. -- posted by Mark H.

Sun, 14 Apr 2002 23:03:29 -0400

Greens have traditionally been cooked down in water with a piece of smoked ham hock or turkey wing. This new method of wilting them leaves them greener and tastier. -- posted by Bogey'sMom

Awesome Collard Greens

Sat, 23 Aug 2003 20:01:23 -0400

This is a vegetarian recipe I've come up with, simply because I usually don't have the salt pork or hamhock traditionally included on hand. It's still got plenty of flavor! -- posted by HollyLQuinn

Slow Roasted Specialty Onions With Collard Greens

Thu, 15 Jun 2006 22:24:08 -0400

Vegetarian, too! This recipe calls for any specialty onion from your region, i.e.; Vidalia, Maui, Walla Walla, etc... Kale or chard can be substituted for the collard greens if you wish! Healthy [[but]] garlicky! From All-American Vegetarian cookbook. Can be served as either a hearty side dish or main dish. I'm sure the onions could be grilled instead, but again, I don't own a BBQ and don't know how to do that. -- posted by Cookgirl

Healthy Mexican Stew

Tue, 29 Jan 2008 18:12:49 -0500

From the World's Healthiest Foods website: I recently started a healthy (almost vegetarian) diet. This is one of the few recipes I've found that has plenty of flavor and is vitamin packed. Don't overcook this soup or the beans and veggies will get mushy!Note: Make sure to finely chop the collard greens or the soup will be quite bitter. I found 1/4" pieces were perfect for my taste. -- posted by Mattiehunter

While wonton wrappers contain egg, spring rolls are perfectly vegan! Although these contain protein, veggies, and carbs (a complete meal in themselves), I eat them with brown jasmine rice to prevent myself from eating too much fried food. -- posted by Azuki!

Simple and Fresh Collard Greens

Sat, 09 Feb 2008 01:28:28 -0500

A lot of people are averse to trying dark leafy greens, believe me, I was too, as they were always described as "bitter". Now that I have had them though I love them, and only eat them like this (not fully cooked to sogginess or in soups). You get a lot of the flavor of the greens themselves and they make a great side dish to a "meat and potatoes" meal. You can substitute any mix of braising/dark leafy greens for the collards. -- posted by The Easy Vegan

This is an adaptation of a Justin Wilson recipe which I have been making for more than 20 years. The hot sauce can be adjusted to suit your taste. I use the pre-washed, chopped collards sold in bags. This is the only way my family will eat collards since I started making them with this recipe. Hope ya'll like it too! :) -- posted by Okitsme

Sneaky Chef Green Juice

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:48:00 -0500

This can be used to boost nutritional value for lots of recipes! Use in chocolate pudding, milk shakes, green icings, casseroles, etc. Green juice is an extremely nutrient dense food. One tablespoon is equivalent to eating 1/4 cup of spinach leaves. It contains iron, calcium, and enzymes for digestion, as well as chlorophyll and carotens for disease fighting power. And just think, your kids, husband, guests, etc. won't even know! :) This recipe was gleaned from The Sneaky Chef cookbook by Missy Chase Lapine. -- posted by Sharon123

Caldo Verde

Mon, 30 Nov 2009 01:49:09 -0500

(Portuguese Kale Soup) by John Villa Pico, NYC Recipe adapted by Irene Sax Considered by many to be Portugal's national dish, caldo verde is found everywhere in the dining rooms of Lisbon's most luxurious hotels to the humblest of country homes. It's a versatile dish: Serve it as a one-course meal at lunch or as a light supper in the evening. What's crucial when preparing it is that the kale is cut into extremely fine slices; that's what creates the soup's distinctive character. -- posted by Dave & Sue Cook for U
