Notes from the kitchen
- Wash collard greens thoroughly in cold water to remove any grit before chopping.
- Adjust apple vinegar at the end of cooking to balance flavor with desired acidity.
- Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by American Southern; regional versions vary.
- Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
