A friend gave me this recipe and I tweaked to meet my family's tastes. Mind you they do not like plain zucchini but mixed with breads, other veggies, and soups--well let's just say kitchen Witchery. Super easy to make and smells great.

THE RIGHT WAY TO COOK GREENS!

The RIGHT WAY To Cook Greens! image

There's a short way and a long way, so no excuses will be accepted for tough, bitter greens!

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

¼ cup bacon drippings
4 bunches collard greens, tough stems removed
salt to taste
3 cups water

Steps:

Heat bacon drippings in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the greens. Stir-fry, I suppose, since you are stirring and frying, for 1 to 4 minutes (depends on how tough the greens are) or until greens are limp, tender, and have greatly reduced in size. Pork fat is good because it helps cover the bitterness of greens while bringing out their great flavor.
At this point, you have a choice. Either serve them straight from the pan with a sprinkling of salt, or add 3 to 4 cups of water and salt to taste, and boil the greens 1 hour for extra tender, probably-won't-even-have-to-chew greens. If you don't have teeth, clearly you see which way to go here.

NEW POTATOES

New Potatoes image

There were no refrigerators or freezers when I grew up, so we were eager to taste those first fresh vegetables from the garden-especially when served with our favorite Sunday dinner. Among the pork chops, fresh asparagus and rhubarb pie, these new potatoes, showered with freshly picked parsley, were a standout. -Marilyn Kutzli, Preston, Iowa
