Greens

Greens, greens and more Greens!

Nothing like cooking some greens! Whether it be Collard greens, Turnip greens Mustard greens, etc.

Every Sunday growing up my family would cook a batch of greens, usually from the farmers market earlier that day. 

Even asa child I would devour my generous helping of greens. How my Mother did it, she would not tell until many years later..

I developed an interest and love for cooking food at an early age. Mainly its my love for eating!

When I was in my mid twenties, for some odd reason, my mom decided to give me her greens recipe.

Using pork belly, cooked in a sous vide and then searing it was the the main ingredient that always made this dish. Combined with minced onions, garlic, minced jalapeño, salt, white pepper. I prefer to use  a nice chicken stock as well for the liquid. I may have been known from time to time to add just a dash of soy.

   

When done right Greens provide a great source of fiber as well as Vitamins A, C, K. Calcium, Iron , Vitamin B-6 and magnesium are also added benefits from this awesome plant from the cruciferous vegetable family!
