mexican collard greens
My Dad told me about some Mexican collards he had at a local restaurant back home so I was challenged to try to recreate the dish. I have to say, they are so very good and he said they were as close to what he had as could be. Served up with a big pone of cornbread to sop up the pot likker from the collards. Honestly, I could have eaten the whole pot.
