Smokin' Collard Greens

Ingredients (use vegan versions):

2 bunches of collard greens
1/2 medium yellow onion
1/2 large red bell pepper
1/2 large green bell pepper
1 tablespoon minced ginger
3 garlic cloves minced
3 veggie bouillon cubes (more or less depending on taste)

Directions:

First, cut the tough stems out of the center of the greens. Next, cut greens into 1/2 to 1" strips. Then transfer greens to a large bowl and submerge them in water to clean. I usually triple wash them just to make sure they are clean. The greens are clean when the water runs clear. Set greens aside.

In a large Dutch oven, sauté the onion and peppers in oil until they have begun to soften, then add the ginger and garlic.

Add 5 cups of water and bouillon cubes and greens. Bring to boil and simmer on low for about 2 1/2 hours or until greens reach desired tenderness.

Serves: 4 to 5

Preparation time: about 3 1/2 hours (time includes preparation and cooking time)

I made this with broccoli green and it was awsome!! I don't have Dutch oven, so I just used big pot, but it still tasted great.

Why is this in appetizers?! I did them a little bit differently, but mine came out perfectly! These were the best greens we've had. I used mustard greens, 1/2 of a red pepper, 3 green onions, and 3 cloves garlic. I added about 2 cups veg broth, and cooked them for about an hour and half, then added some soy sauce and about 2 tbs tahini, along with lots of s and p. Great!

Oh, and I kept mine kind of soupy, b/c I like having the "sauce!" The amount of liquid can of course be modified. Wink
