Pineapple Collards

Adapted from Appetite for Reduction: 125 Fast & Filling Low Fat Vegan Recipes by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

6 cloves of garlic, minced

2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger

¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes

1 pound collards, cut or torn in bite sized pieces

¼ cup pineapple, chopped

¼ teaspoon salt (optional)

Preheat large skillet. Sauté the garlic, ginger, and red pepper flakes. Add the collards, pineapple, and salt (if using). Sauté for about 10 minutes. Use splashes of water if the pan seems dry. The collards should be tender and cooked down pretty well. Enjoy!

The combination of fresh sweetness with the bite of the greens and spice is lovely!
