A belated thank you all to those who responded to my plea for tofu cookery secrets.

My family will be so *thrilled* to hear I have all these new ideas<g>

Another problem I have is getting good amounts of hearty greens into them. The like salad,and spinach occasionally, but I'd like them to eat more stuff like kale, collards, turnip greens, beet greens etc. Don't want to force them of course <BWG> but if I could sneak it into their diet in some delicious ways...

TIA,

Namaste,
cris

Okay, so how do you cook collard greens, and what, exactly, are they?

Pesto! We steam greens down and then make a pesto with it.

Just a thought. You can also add it to soup.

I think their closest relative is actually the tobacco plant! <G>

Tear or chop them and cook for several hours in chicken stock with a good
amount of salt.

I add a small amount of sugar, one (very coarsely) chopped onion, some
vinegar, and hot pepper flakes. I can't tell you the amounts: it depends on
the amount of collards! Everything to taste.

They're what Southerners eat to ring in the New Year---they represent
$$---green backs!

Actually collards belongs to the Cruciferae, along with broccoli,
Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, radishes, turnips,
nasturtium and alyssum, etc.

The Solanacaea family includes tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants,
peppers, tobacco, petunias and deadly nightshade.
