Collard Greens

Oh how my family loves collard greens! My dad requests them almost anytime he comes over for dinner because he doesn't get to have them at home. This is how I like to make them!

Ingredients:

Collard Greens
1-2 can chicken broth
1 can Italian style diced tomatoes
1 tub sliced mushrooms

Directions:

*Wash your collards and cut leaves into large chunks. I usually cut across the veins. (I also often buy them in a bag already washed and cut!)
*Pour chicken broth into a pot. Add some greens and cover. Let them cook down a bit then add some more. Keep adding and cooking down and stirring until they are all in your pot.
*Add the rest of the ingredients and more broth if needed and let cook for a bit.

Once the greens are tender enough to your liking serve! Sometimes I serve in a bowl soup style, other times I put on a plate without extra broth. We like to top with pepper sauce or green tabasco!

Yum! I think I will make some this weekend!
