Vegetarian Greens

I'm always down for some southern comfort, vegetarian style Greens. The recipe below will make any "Meat in the greens" Lover reconsider the meat option when they try this:

Kweli’s Vegetarian Greens (Courtsey of Vegetarian Soul Food MSN Group)

Ingredients:

2-3 pounds of greens or several large bunches (If you can't get them fresh, frozen will do)

1 stick of soy-based margarine

1 small onion

1 green bell pepper

2 garlic cloves

1 celery stalk

Spices to taste: black pepper, salt, red pepper, rosemary, oregano, basil & thyme)

Procedure

Make a spice mix by taking all vegetables and spices and mince in a food processor. Bring spices mix and margarine to a boil in a (6 quart) pot of water. Take the greens and separate the leaves (if fresh). Now rinse each leaf individually under cold running water. After you rinse the collard greens thoroughly, stack several leaves on top of each other. Roll these leaves together. Then slice the leaves into thin strips using a cutting board and large knife. Rolling them together speeds up the process as you are slicking through several leaves at once.

Next, add your greens to the pot. Since this is a lot of greens, you will need to add them until the pot is full. Then allow them to wilt as they cook - then add more. Add you salt, cover and cook for thirty minutes on medium heat. Stir every few minutes to distribute the taste evenly. Taste to confirm they are the tenderness you prefer.

If you used frozen collards, simply pour them - frozen - right from the package to the pot.
