\"\"A fancy way of making Collard Green…<\/p>\n

As the weekend comes to an end I feel sheer pain. I always wish if I could freeze the weekend and enjoy it till I get bored of it. However, as the week rolls in I slowly gear up and soon will be seen relishing every bit of it. Last weekend was quite a rewarding one for me. I had spent a lot of time in my kitchen trying different dishes that I had never tried before. I had bought a few types of leafy vegetables during my last grocery shopping and have been trying many dishes with it. One of the best ways to\u00a0include\u00a0greens in our diet is by adding them to almost all dishes, with chicken and other meat. So that you get the bite of your favorite meat and the nutrients from the leafy vegetables as well.<\/p>\n

Collard Greens was one such vegetable I picked up from the veggie aisle. Collard greens are a staple vegetable of Southern US cuisine. It is believed that eating collard green on New year’s day along with black eyed peas and corn bread will bring wealth in the coming year, as the leaves resemble folding money. Quite interesting, huh? Not just wealth, after reading about the health benefits of it, I can assure you that if we include this leaf in our diet often it will bring wellness too.<\/p>\n

After making Collard Green Scrambled Eggs for breakfast on Saturday, I wanted to make something different with it for dinner. I googled for some recipe ideas and my search ended when I found a recipe<\/a> where it was made as a roll, with a stuffing inside it.<\/p>\n

I made my own kind of stuffing with chicken, placed it on the poached collard green and rolled it. Baked it for a few minutes after topping it with salsa and parmesan cheese. When I served it for dinner, it looked real fancy and very\u00a0appealing to the eyes. As I started tasting it, I was sure that I will be making this dish quite often. It was incredibly yummy, the best part was I didn’t feel like I am actually eating a leaf, the stuffing and the topping enhanced the taste of it greatly.<\/p>\n
