New and a question

[Guest guest]

Hi I am new to this group and am looking to introduce some vegetarian meals

to my table. My question is... I have seen a lot of things come through

this group about greens. When I was young my Granny used to make them and

the would stink up the whole house LOL I couldn't get passed the smell to

eat them LOL. Anyway I know that they are good for you with the iron and

all and that they are pretty much low in calories so does anyone have a

recipe for maybe raw greens. Can you even eat raw greens??? LOL I can only

remember eating greens once in my entire life and only because I was in the

hospital and I had to get my iron up and they pretty much said eat these or

you won't leave LOL. Also I am looking for some raw cabbage recipes.

Thanks in advance.

Speaking of raw cabbage...I hope you mean you just want to start with raw stuff,

do something to it, and end up with edible cabbage...

Slice/chop a cabbage like you were going to make slaw. Thjen, get out a BIG

frying pan and put a teaspoon of oilve oil in the bottom, yes a teaspoon. Then

fill the pan up with cabbage, add a boullon coupon to the cabbage...chop it up

so you can sprinkle it around. Put a heavy lid on top and let it cook about 12

minutes. You might look at it once and sorta stif it around.

It hits the spot with me. Luanne

raw greens are good but the best way to eat them is cooked, for more

nourishment.

 

They don't stick up the house, it was probably whatever granny put in with them.

 

Greens are greens just like spinach is, only spinachis themost popular. I like

cooked spinach, but after trying all the other greens that " mom never made "

spinach is last on the list according to favorites.

 

hugs, Chanda

Raw collards make for good wraps:

And kale is real good raw too. Destem it and make a

salad of, say, kale, apples, walnuts (or soy nuts) and

yogurt (or balsamic vinegar). I probably would put

garlic in any of those variations too, but I'm a fiend.

Put cinnamon on your apples too. Delicious!
