bon appetit

that looks very tasty Hellooo! I know in my Italian-Portuguese Culture, we use lots of collard greens and sautee them in olive oil and garlic as you mentioned in your recipe I love it!

Italian and Portuguese! I would love to know some of the recipes you grew up with, I'll bet you experienced some wonderful cooking in your family.

good recipe, Hellooo,

my husband and I love all kinds of greens and are growing some now,
and they will last well into the new year.

I would like to try the 'leeks' but not the 'pork', we sometimes use 'smoked-turkey'
to add flavor plus lots of onions and garlic and chicken or beef broth.
