recipe for collard greens

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any recipes for using collard greens? They are so nutritious, and I think the

highest in calcium of any greens, so I like to use them a lot. But they are bitter. I make “beans and greens”,

and I put some in my smoothies, but I’d really like to eat more of them

and can’t come up with any good recipes. You can’t really just substitute them

for other greens, because it seems like even when they are cooked and added to

other ingredients, they are still bitter.

Anybody got any great recipes where you can’t notice the

bitterness so much?

My collard greens are delicious, RAW. I can't stand them cooked, but in the raw they are very mild.

Here's a recipe we love around our house, the sauce is what makes it!

SPRING ROLLS

Adapted from Bruce Horowitz recipe

10 leaves cabbage, butter leaf lettuce, collards, to wrap rolls

1 turnip, spiralized for “noodles”

1 medium carrot, shredded

Chopped mint & cilantro

Sprouts of your choice

FILLING:

2 cups pumpkin seeds, soaked and rinsed

1 large clove shallot

¼ cup fresh spearmint

¼ cup fresh cilantro

2 T lemon juice

2 T – ¼ cup olive oil

1 t sea salt

Process ingredients to a coarse pate.

Wrap in leaves with turnip, carrot, mint, cilantro, and sprouts of your choice.

DIPPING SAUCE:

¼ cup apple cider vinegar

2 T Nama shoyu

1 ½ T grated ginger

1 T agave nectar

1 t sesame oil

Mix and serve in small, flat dipping bowls

*I cut the large vein out of the collard greens making two long halves and then I cut those halves in half crosswise.
