A couple of years back, I loathed any green that wasn’t remotely close to spinach. Kale, collard greens were on that list (I don’t know why). But after some time, I gradually, consciously started playing around with more greens. I couldn’t just turn my back on these greens especially when their nutritional benefits are staggering. And of course, with age comes wisdom and we all start thinking about our health. If you are looking for an easy, flavorful, and downright addictive way of trying out collard greens or kale then you are in luck. I have tried both greens using this method and they both work great.
If you are more focused on the nutritional content then be aware that collard greens are right up there with kale. They both provide an excellent source of vitamins A, C, K calcium and are equally tasty! Some side-by-side comparisons even give collard greens a slight edge-something to think about when you are in the supermarket. This Ethiopian Braised Greens is fairly easy dish to make both in terms of preparation and the time it takes to make it. Especially when you have all your pantry ingredients ready to go. What sets these greens apart from the rest are the spice mix and Ethiopian Spiced butter. It makes it more enticing and flavorful.
Cooking greens is a matter of personal preference, some like to cook it to death but not me, 7-10 minutes does it for me. Don’t let me rain on your parade – cook to your hearts desire. And for a Complete Ethiopian meal, serve it with this Ethiopian Spiced lentil stew
Injera/Angero and or this Doro Wat Ethiopian chicken Stew Enjoy!!!
