This is a recipe I whipped up in a hurry last night to go with some oven roasted chicken. It took no time at all, it was delicious, and it did my body some good. If you’re following the 30-Day Nutrition Challenge, this is a great dinner idea.
Inspiration for this recipe really came from the local, organic collard greens I found in Toronto’s Kensington Market. I fried onions and garlic in ghee (you could use olive oil if you don’t have ghee) threw in the collards and added a dash of curry powder and unrefined sea salt. That’s it! I had an amazingly tasty side dish and it was super easy.
Although collards are available all year, we’re coming to the end of their prime growing season (January through April), so get them while they’re at their best. Collards are a great source of vitamin K, vitamin C and beta carotene (precursor to vitamin A). They’re also high in niacin (B3), a nutrient found to help lower cholesterol levels. And, like all its cruciferous cousins, collards help to detoxify the blood; something helped along even more by the turmeric in the curry powder in this recipe. They’re also high in calcium, manganese and folate.
