the recipe i've picked for today, is brand new for me, so i haven't really fine tuned the measurements of each ingredient. but it was magnifique, nonetheless! i was home alone tonight and needed to figure out something to eat, while being too tired to cook anything elaborate. i realized i had collard greens in the fridge and i'm trying to get better at eating my fresh produce before it goes bad. (while i am typing this, i think i have salad fixings beginning to rot... dangit.) before i continue, let me preface this recipe by saying: 6 months ago, i had never had a collard green in my life. i always heard that they were supposed to be cooked with lots of greasy pork and fried and, well, basically cooked in a way that no nutritional value was left. but i was told to try it by steaming it and dressing it with lemon, garlic, and soy sauce. i was hooked after that. but tonight... i wanted something a little different. so i took out my collard greens and thought... yes - this can be a meal. it is going to be... my meal. so here ya go. try it! its simple.
ingredients
1 bunch of collard greens (be aware that they start off big but they do cook down quite a bit)
2 cloves of garlic
a few slices of deli turkey
half a lemon
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp butter (you can use a little more if you really want to... i am on a calorie strict diet right now...)
water to boil with
method
1. cut off the stems and remove the spine of the collard greens
2. stack collard leaves and cut them into strips width wise
3. place them in salted boiling water
4. cook for 15 minutes or until desired softness is achieved
5. once done, drain in a colander and press out remaining water
while your collards are cooking, you can crush/mince your garlic clove and chop up your turkey slices into little squares
6. melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat
7. add garlic and turkey to the skillet
8. once garlic and turkey are slightly browned, added the collards and soy sauce
9. heat through, salt and pepper to taste.
10. serve with rice or eat by itself!

thats about it. its very healthy and quick. i really loved it! i wasn't sure about adding the turkey, but i wanted to add a bit of protein to this so i wouldn't get too hungry later, after eating. :) if you try this recipe, let me know what you think. you can tweak the measurements, because i kind of did everything by site and not by measurements, so really the recipe is a guest-imant. goodnight! love you!
