I subbed collard greens, which worked wonderfully.<br /><br />Just one note, I found the salt to be overwhelming, and I'm sure I didn't use the full amount in the vegetables. I'd reduce it to 3/4 t. next time.<br /><br />I also reduced the olive oil to just 1 T., which I thought worked well, and made it feel a bit more virtuous. ;-)PaganAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11627178427919292960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3291822984443127930.post-20204304966515136712010-02-17T09:10:46.280-05:002010-02-17T09:10:46.280-05:00I have this same cookbook and will have to give he...I have this same cookbook and will have to give her recipes a try.
