Garlic Collard Green Saute

Growing up I never heard of Collard Greens, Black Eyed Peas, or Ham-hocks probably because I lived in the Midwestern State of Illinois and being Jewish you are not supposed to eat anything made from Pork ever. It was not until watching an episode of Oprah many years ago that I learned about all these foods being an old time meal of the Southern States. With my renewed quest to get back to eating a 75-90% vegan diet, I am buying greens, beans, & legumes that I have never eaten and cooking them with my own healthy twist.

One of My New Fall Favorite Vegetables is Collard Greens
