Recipe by Doug DiPasquale, Holistic Nutritionist
High in vitamin A and C as well as iron, collard greens are a hearty fall and winter green. A member of the cabbage family, collards are potent cancer fighters like their kin.
ingredients
directions
In a large pot boil potatoes (unpeeled) in salted water until they are not quite done (still firm). Drain and set aside.
Steam collard greens in a 1/2 inch of water in a pot for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large cast-iron pan on medium-high heat, add organic butter and mustard seeds. When mustard seeds start to pop, add onion, garlic and ginger. Sauté until onion is translucent.
Add potatoes, cumin and fennel seeds and stir. Add collard greens. Cook until potatoes are soft on the inside and crispy and browned on the outside and collards are wilted.
A few minutes before the end add turmeric and a healthy pinch of unrefined sea salt. Stir well. If too dry add a splash of water or more butter (although the final dish should be dry, not saucy).
