Island Greens




















2 tbsp olive oil
2 vidalia onions
(1) 15.oz can coconut milk
(1) 32.oz bag collard greens
6 cloves garlic chopped
Water
Salt to taste
1 tbps Garlic powder (optional)
1/2 cup nutritional yeast flakes

Pick through and rinse collard greens and chopped them into little pieces.

In a large imusa pot, add the olive oil and onions and fry them until they are light brown in color. Add chopped garlic, stir for a few seconds, add the finely chopped collard green. I find that the smaller you chopped the collard greens, the more tender they will become in a less amount of time. Add enough water to cover greens, place lid on the pot and let the greens steam or boil for 20 to 30 minutes on low heat.

After 30 minutes, add a can of coconut milk, garlic powder, salt, nutritional yeast flakes and water. Mix all ingredients. Place lid on the pot and let them cook for an hour more.

Enjoy!

Must have

Thinking about changing your diet to vegan and not sure what to buy? Take a look at my grocery hall.



Organic seasonings and spices. I find that they enhance the flavor of my recipes







Fresh Vegetables & Fruits







Try freezing bananas with the skin on. When you are ready to make a frozen smoothie, take one out of the freezer and peel them with a knife.





Nuts and dried fruits for quick snack. They are great for baking granola bars!



Whole grains = Protein









Betcha can't eat just one...



Once a month treat :)



I purchased these delicious Coconut Date Granola from a vegan bakery. (Wildflour Vegan Bakery, located in Providence, R.I)





 frozen Jackfruit, a good substitute for mocked meat



Condiments
