Michael Symons White Bean And Collard Greens Soup Recipes

Steps:

• Set up a grill for cooking with indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only. Place a heavy-bottomed enameled cast-iron pan over the direct heat side of the grill and add the olive oil.
• Add the onions, fennel and garlic with a pinch of salt and allow to begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until rusty, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Deglaze the pan with 1 cup water, scraping the bottom for any brown bits. Add all of the greens and season with salt and pepper.
• Cover the pan with a lid.
• Move the pan to the indirect-heat side of the grill, then close the lid and cook until the greens are wilted, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the grill and stir in the dill and lemon juice. Serve.

Steps:

• Hot sauce, such as Aardvark or your favorite
• Roughly chop the collards and kale into 1/2-inch pieces. Wash well under cold water. Drain and set aside.
• In a large Dutch oven or stockpot over medium heat, add a film of olive oil followed by the turkey wings. Cook until the wings are just about crisped on all sides, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and garlic and a large pinch of salt and sweat until the vegetables are softened and aromatic, about 3 minutes. Add the greens along with the jalapenos, vinegar, sugar and 1 tablespoon salt. Cover and cook until the greens are nicely wilted, 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and check the seasoning, adding salt and vinegar as needed. Add hot sauce to taste and serve.

Steps:

• Drain the beans if you soaked them, then put them in a large, deep pot over medium-high heat. Add the ham bone, stock and onions. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat so the mixture bubbles steadily and cover partially. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are very soft and any meat is falling off the bone, at least 1 hour; add more liquid as necessary so the mixture remains soupy.
• Turn off the heat; remove the bone from the pot and let cool slightly. Take all the meat off the bone, chop it, and set it aside. Mash or puree the beans, then return them to the pot along with the ham; reheat over medium heat until almost boiling.
• Add the collards, along with the garlic if you're using it, and cook until the greens are tender, about 10 minutes. Taste, adjust the seasonings, and serve.

Add onion, celery, jalapeño peppers, bell pepper, bay leaf, 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper; cook until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently. (Add a little water, if necessary, to prevent burning on the bottom of the pot.) Stir in garlic and cook another 2 minutes.
