Coconut Milk Braised Collard Greens image

I've always been in love with creamed spinach but I wanted to take it up a notch. For me, that next thing was collard greens and coconut milk. The sweetness from the coconut milk with the bitterness from the collards meshed into something magical. And not to forget that dash of spice at the end, giving you all the life you need.
