Our local CSA has had an abundance of greens lately, due to the cold snaps.
You won't hear me complaining. This girl LOVES her greens!
My in-laws, on the other hand, are not quite so sure. They don't really know how to cook them, nor do they particularly love them. They are more "spinach people". I guess a taste for greens has to be developed. I could eat them 3 times a day and be a happy little camper.
I took an Indian twist last night with my greens. Trying a little something different. YUM! This version will definitely be making it into the rotation.
Indian Spiced Greens

Do you like your greens? What is your favorite way to enjoy them?
Thank you for the congrats ;)
ReplyDeleteI also love greens! I recently tried kale and am obsessed! I used Jenna (eat, live, run)'s recipe for bbq beans with kale- amazing! I haven't yet tried collards (which is funny because they're so readily available where I live)
What CSA are you a member of? (I think we're both in Pinellas.) I've been thinking about joining one, but I'm not sure where to start.
ReplyDeleteI have only tried Indian food once before, and its been a while. This sounds like its worth a second try!

This sounds delish! I don't eat nearly the amount of greens that I should, but I love indian spices and will be trying this recipe out soon! One of my favorite kape recipes is a white bean and kale crock pot soup. Quick and easy and definitely a favorite everytime I make it!
