Niter's Greens
INNALEK, it is gone be so TO' UP when *Toi reads this thread!!
Anywhoo ...
You can use collards, turnips, or mustards in this recipe. I like it because it doesn't use that salt meat.
All you need is one onion, one tomato, some greens , and your favorite seasonings.
Chop up the onion and tomato, and make sure the greens are clean. In a pot (you know, the big arsed GREENS cooking pot we all have), saute' the onions - I spray the pot with Pam - and add any seasonings you might want to use. I use lemon pepper, garlic powder, and seasoning salt.
*i add one slice of bacon, for the benefit of the one in my house to whom this seems to make a difference*
While the onions are saute'ing in the spices, I'm washing the greens.
Once the greens are clean, and the onions are opaque, layer the greens and tomatoes into the pot. It is at this time that I add a bit of black pepper. Since you are taking the greens directly from the fresh water, there is no need to add extra water.
Once you have everything in the pot, stir it up some so that the onions are not at the bottom, and stir occasionally as the greens are cooking.
You can add extra seasonings to taste ... otherwise, just let those bad boys cook, and that is the BEST eating (with some cornbread)!
