SO HOW'D IT GO?
This dish was delicious! Thanks.
I love mustard and collard greens, gonna have to try this.
It's also great when you add some all-purpose seasoning or dry veggie bullion and about a tablespoon of creamy peanut butter. That's the way I learned to make it in Botswana. We at it all the time over paleche (PAH-lay-chay), also known as papa, which is like polenta but a bit stiffer.
