two collard greens recipes

[Guest guest]

i've veganized this recipe from the " new soul food cookbook " by wilbert

jones. hopefully it works, as i have not tried it. my collards cooking

attempts

have always failed miserably, and i'm usually a really good cook. oh, well.

for those of you in the chicago area, the vegetarian express gourmet on

111th and whipple (which is quite possibly the best vegan restaurant in the

universe) has killer collards.

 

VEGAN COLLARD GREENS

 

-3 lbs collard greens, rinsed and chopped

-1/2 lb chopped smoke-flavour tofurkey or possibly just smoke flavour (the

original recipe calls for 1/2lb smoked turkey breast; use your favourite

substitute)

-1 cup veg broth

-1/2 cup minced onion

-1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

-1 tsp minced celery

-1 tsp freshly ground black pepper

 

place collards and tofurkey in a large pot. cover with water and cook on

medium heat, covered, for 20 minutes. add the broth, onion, red pepper flakes,

celery, and black pepper, and cook on a low-medium heat, covered, for about

an hour. serves 8.
