GREENS!!
Now, before you think of lots of vegetables that are green consider the vegetable “GREENS“. This includes only one category of veggies. Leaves: Collards, Mustard, Turnip. Those are what, in the south, we call greens. And I cook them a lot for the Man. Me, not a fan. So when Donna chose GREENS I knew it would be just for the Man.
And they are not easy to photograph for a pretty picture.
These are easy to prepare. Boil water. Season with salt. Add cleaned and stripped (from the tough stem) leaves. Bring to a boil.
But before you do that you need to fry some bacon and then sautee some onion in the bacon grease. This you add to the greens as they cook.
See. Easy.
I am curious as to how the rest of the Good Friends cooked their greens.

Always good to learn about food in other countries. I hope i’ll get collard green one day.

So, you don’t like these greens? Just Bill eats them? Hmm…interesting. They look good to me…and if you add bacon, pretty much everything has a bacon flavor, so what’s not to love about that? I am learning about them this week as I haven’t ever had them before. So greens means they are attached to some sort of bulb that you eat and then you can also fix the green part to eat as the “greens.” I get it now. I’m not sure Chard qualifies for that but I’m going to count mine anyway.

I cannot believe you do not love these! Being a southern gal isn’t liking greens required? 🙂 There is also turnip green soup. Have you had that? My husband hates these but he will eat a bite or two for me. But being from the north, he did not grow up eating these. He loves spinach. Anyway, i love these and yours look delicious to me!

I did not grow up in the south so never learned to eat them. No one in my family ever cooked them. Ah, well. Thanks
