Hello,
It has been ages since I wrote on my blog. What can I say? Life happens. I am still on WW and making steady progress. I am 3 dress sizes smaller since I started this blog. YEAH!!!
Today, I want to talk about GREENS. Collards, Mustard, Kale and other members of this vegetable family. Many people walk through the produce section of the grocery store and sneer at the GREENS. Why are people afraid to tackle GREENS? Is it because they think that GREENS are hard to prepare?
I used to think that GREENS had to be cooked for hours with pork or turkey seasoning before they were edible. The days of GREENS loaded with salt are gone.
Out with the old and in with the new.
I am happy to report that you can prepare easy dishes made of GREENS in under thirty minutes. I created the following recipe for Collard Greens Casserole. It is easy to make and veggielicious.
Ingredients:
1 large bag pre-washed collard greens
1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup crispy onions
1 cup low skim mozzarella
1 tbs season salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 cup half and half
2 garlic cloves
1 shallot
1/4 cup extra light olive oil
1 glass pie plate
Mince garlic and shallot. Saute garlic and shallots in extra virgin olive oil until tender and translucent. Add collard greens and cook until greens are tender and soft. (approximately 10 minutes at medium heat) Add garlic powder, onion powder, season salt and pepper. Next add half and half and turn heat on low. Cook for another 5 minutes.
Mix onions and bread crumbs together. (make sure to mash onions until they look like the bread crumbs) Spread the crumb mixture across the bottom of the plate like a pie crust. Add collards (I like to use tongs) .Spread the collards evenly over the pie crust. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and 1tbs of crispy onions over the collards.
Bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes or until cheese has melted.
Enjoy.
Tip: Try cooking some greens. Let your imagination soar.
Go green and have a VEGGIE GREAT DAY,
