My favorite combo of of greens is collards and kale. You can, of course, use any varieties you like. Greens are so easy to cook and you can make a huge batch at a time. Many people have their own recipes or they use one passed down for generations. If you don't have one though, here my my favorite way to cook them!!!
1 pre-washed and cut bag collard greens
1 pre-washed and cut bag kale
2 cartons of chicken broth
1 onion
5 gloves garlic
coconut or olive oil
1 hunk salt pork or jowl
salt and pepper
Empty you collards into your crock-pot along with your chicken broth (save 1/2 c for later) and cook on high for 6-8 hrs. Once collards cook down to half of their size (around 3 -4 hrs), put oil in a skillet and add kale, diced onion, garlic and salt and pepper to taste and left over broth. saute on medium high until bright green (3-5 minutes) and add to collards and stir. Let mixture continue to cook for remaining time.
***One done, I drain the greens and puree them with a little of ghee and a splash of coconut milk/cream for creamed greens a few nights later
