Creamed Collard Greens

Creamed collard greens, in all their old-fashioned charm, soothe a worn soul. The collard greens’ briny undertones pair very nicely with the rich sweetness of cream and caramelized onions. Bring a bottle of hot sauce to the table, which adds a punch of heat to an otherwise calm and mild dish.
