EPICURE
While looking for a different approach to collard greens I called my daughter-in-law Wendy | She's raised in Maryland, familiar with hushpuppies and Southern food | Seemed a logical consult | But she suggested looking on the internet, so that's what I did |
Ultimately, I opted to make it up as I went | My recipe:
Supper will also include baked ham [bought three weeks ago when the cost was about half per pound less than what it was going for last week], cornbread and a cranberry-pear-apple sauce |

Ultimately, I opted to make it up as I went | My recipe:
• 2 onions, chopped fine + sauteed
• 1/2 pound of hot dogs, chopped up + sauteed with the onions
• crushed garlic from a jar, approx 3 tablespoons
• 3 lbs of collard greens. chopped up
• red wine vinegar [1/2 cup]
• salt [to taste]
• black pepper [to taste]
• brown sugar, enough to fill the palm of my hand [approx 2-3 tablespoons]
• juice from my dad's home-canned hot peppers [1/4 cup; you don't want to mess with this]
• several squirts from one of the many red hot sauce conncoctions in the cupboard
• 1/4 lb of bacon, fried separate + added with grease produced in the process
• two tomatoes I had in the 'fridge, chopped up finely
• 1/2 cup of Ken's™ tomato vinegarette dressing
Supper will also include baked ham [bought three weeks ago when the cost was about half per pound less than what it was going for last week], cornbread and a cranberry-pear-apple sauce | I found a number of cooking resources I liked | Here's some of them: Cooks.com recipe search | About's Southern Cuisine | Prarienet's Recipies | Greens Recipes which included one from Sylvia's Soul Foods, [I've always liked their prepared goods anyway] |
