Prep time: 18 MinCook time: 30 MinTotal time: 48 Min
Ingredients
- 1-2 Bunches Collards Greens (stems removed)
- 16 oz. Coconut Milk
- Juice of 2 Limes
- 1/2 Tsp Ground Ginger
- 1/2 Lb. Yukon Gold Potatoes
- 1/2 Red Onion (chopped)
- 2 Tbsp. Nutritional Yeast
- 1/2 Tsp Mustard Seeds
- 1/2 Tsp. Fennel Seeds
- Sea Salt
- Lemon Pepper
- Chili Flakes
- Avocado Oil
- Water
Instructions
- Skin and chop potatoes into small chunks.
- Dice the red onion. Use almost half an onion, and set aside some of it for later.
- Sauté potatoes and onions in a large pan with a little avocado oil. Adding a little water as you go, and a little more oil. After about 10 minutes add mustard and fennel seeds. Cook until the potatoes are cooked through.
- In a deep pan, add slices of red onions and sauté with avocado oil for a minute or two. Destem the collards greens and chop them into pieces. Add the collard greens to the pan, and then pour in 16 ounces of coconut milk.
- Add juice of two limes, ground ginger, nutritional yeast, and sprinkle in some sea salt and lemon pepper.
- Simmer, stirring occasionally until the collards are cooked down and the sauce thickens. This is where time seemed to disappear as I got lost in the enjoyment of it all, but somewhere around 10-20 minutes.
- Place the creamy collard greens in a bowl, and add the potatoes on top. Sprinkle with chili flakes, and you have a warm, flavorful meal.
