Here is another New Year's dish for prosperity.... Collard Greens. Why? Because they are green like money and we could all use a little more green in our lives. :) I decided to curry them and it turned out so well that I paired it with my Curried Hoppin' John with Pork and Bacon for more luck. :)
Ingredients:
1lb of cleaned and stemmed Collard Greens chopped
1 medium onion chopped
2 green chilies chopped
10-15 fresh curry leaves
1 Tbs of grated fresh ginger
1 Tbs of grated fresh garlic
1 cinnamon stick
1 tsp of mustard seeds
