Collard Greens And Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Fry the bacon with the onion in a large skillet over medium heat until the bacon is crisp, about 10 minutes. Stir in the chopped collard greens, sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon of the greens seasoning; cook and stir for 5 minutes.
• Add in the darker chopped cabbage leaves, and cook and stir until almost tender, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining cabbage; season with salt, black pepper, sugar, and the remaining greens seasoning. Stir well; cover and cook until tender, stirring occasionally so that the greens do not scorch, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Add the bacon fat to a large stock pot.
• If you don't save your bacon fat, fry up a few slices of bacon in the pot you are going to cook your greens in; leave the bacon and fat.
• Add your ham hocks to the pot, cover with water, onion and spices.
• Boil for about an hour.
• Add cleaned and cut collards to the pot, cover and cook until tender (45 minutes to an hour, less if you like them less cooked).
• Add the cabbage at the very end and cook until wilted or to your desired taste.
• Remove bones and fat of the ham hocks.

Steps:

• For the dressing: Mix together the mayonnaise, mustard, honey, vinegar, Miss Brown's House Seasoning, celery seeds and garlic in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
• For the slaw: Combine the collards, cabbage and onion in a large serving bowl. Add the dressing and toss to coat well. Serve immediately.
• Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Sauté the bell pepper and onions in the same pan until tender and browned in spots, for 2 minutes. Add the shredded collard greens and cook on low heat until softened, for 4 minutes. Add the cabbage, chicken bouillon, salt, Creole seasoning, garlic paste and black pepper and cook on medium heat for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the cabbage and greens are tender. Add some water if the mixture is too dry. Put the bacon back into the pan, stirring it in for even distribution. Cover until ready to serve. Serve with chow-chow on the side, if desired.

Steps:

• In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the rice wine or sherry, the broth or water and the soy sauce. Have all the ingredients within arm's reach from your pan.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 1 tablespoon of the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and pepper and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds.
• Swirl in the remaining oil and add the cabbage and collard greens. Turn the heat to high and stir-fry for 1 minute, or until the greens begin to wilt. Add the salt, toss together and add the soy sauce mixture. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, until the collard greens and cabbage are crisp-tender. Remove from the heat and serve.
