Jamaican-Style Greens

2 pounds collard greens -- kale or mustard greens

1/4 cup water

1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup finely chopped onion

1 small red jalapeno pepper -- stemmed seeded and finely chopped

1/8 teaspoon allspice

1/4 teaspoon salt

freshly ground black peppere

2 teaspoons lemon or lime juice

 

 

 

1. Wash the greens well in several changes of water. Remove the thick

rib from the center of the leaves; chop coarsely. 2. Put the greens

with 1/4 cup water into a large pot. Place over medium heat, cover and

cook until wilted, about 10 minutes. Stir often. Drain.

 

3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and

jalapeno; saute 5 minutes. Stir in the greens, allspice, salt and

pepper; saute 5 minutes. 4. Stir in the lime juice and serve.

ChupaNote: keep with the tropical theme by adding 1 16-oz can of

pineapple chunks in lite juice to the greens in step 2 (you are

replacing the water, so make sure you have 1/4 cup of fluids total).

Add one large minced mango at the very end when you stir in the lime

juice. Sprinkle with 1/4 cup toated coconut (or way more!!!)
