Collard Greens In A Spicy Tomato Sauce
Collard Greens In A Spicy Tomato Sauce
Normally, collard greens require long cooking times to soften. Make them in a pressure cooker and they’ll be ready in about 10 minutes. You can serve the greens as a side dish for hearty mains like pork chops, or toss this dish with pasta for a vegetarian meal. Recipe courtesy of The Great Big Pressure Cooker Book.
