Collard Greens

In place of collards, you can make this with the same amount of curly or Tuscan kale.

Shredded coconut, which is cut more finely than the thick flaked type called for here, will work in a pinch.

A dip that proves collards don’t have to be stewed for hours to be delicious.

Serve the salmon with raita, which gets a peppery twist from the addition of grated daikon radish.

To save yourself some chopping, look for bags of mixed, pre-cut braising greens, available at some supermarkets. (Buy spinach separately for the gremolata.) Serve with warm bread for a filling main course.

Our best creamy collard greens recipe does contain bacon, whole milk, and heavy cream, but it's so worth it if you want to splurge. Serve as a hearty side dish.

Thanks to paprika, this meatless main has a spicy, smoky flavor.
