Collard Green Southern Style

Whenever I shop at Meat Farm Market,I always see a lot of Collard green on sale .But I never eat this vegetable before so don't dare to buy it.I know collard green is very famous southern dish.It's show in Food Network and Travel Channel,that African American love collard green and it's their comfort food.I asked Elliot,did he ever eat collard green and he said yes.He was in New Orleans many years ago,happen to eat this vegetable cooked by Africa American.He told me that not everyone can make good Collard Green.Well,let see......Still cooking in the pot.I add in the stems together with leaves,just wanna to taste how it's.Actually it's like "choy sam" .
Ingredients
2 pounds fresh collard greens
2 cups water
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped green sweet pepper
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon red crushed pepper
2 pound roasted pork belly

Method:
1. Remove stems from greens. Wash leaves, pat dry. Coarsely chop leaves to measure 8 cups; set aside.
2. In a Dutch oven or stockpot combine water, onion, sweet pepper, salt, pepper, and roasted pork belly. Bring to boiling. Add greens, cover and reduce heat. Simmer about 1-1/4 hours or until greens are tender. Remove from heat, set aside and keep warm.
3. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a serving bowl. Makes 6 to 8 servings.
Note:Usually this recipe use ham hock,but I use roasted pork belly since I didn't buy ham hock.Actually collard green is almost similar taste like Chinese kale.Next time, I can use this vegetable to cook 'hot and sour vegetable Chinese style.

I used to buy collard green to substitute for kailan. I cooked it how I would cook my kailan, but sometimes I got the really big one and that can be kinda tough. So, I stop buying them liao. Furthermore now I have easy access to Asian kailan, so no need to substitute anymore. :)

That good,eat more vege can do good to your health.I hate vege b4 kid time but now love it.

LCOM:
you're right collard green taste abit like kailan.I think every green when they are big can be tough.Asian store sell big 'choy sam' cheaper than small size one,that mean small size one must be better!!
