Dinner
The preparation of the vegetables and the collard is
easy and takes no more than ½ hours. However, because of the sturdiness of
the collard leaves a cooking time of 2 ½ hours is required. But the long
waiting time until the meal is ready is more than worthwhile. |
Served
Collard Greens provide such a rich taste and leafy but tender texture that they may be the best greens I have jet served. On top of that they are the easiest to prepare and risk free to cook. Served with rice this meal is most satisfying. |
