Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

2 lbs. greens (collard mustard, or turnip) -- washed

and stemmed

1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil

1/4 cup flour

2 large onions -- finely diced

1 green bell pepper -- finely diced

4 stalks celery -- finely diced

1 can plum tomatoes -- (16 oz.) drained and

coarsely chopped

1/4 cup liquid hot sauce (such as Texas Pete's)

3 bay leaves

1 tsp. file powder (a Cajun spice)

Cayenne pepper -- to taste

1/2 tsp. thyme -- oregano, and basil

1/4 cup fresh parsley -- chopped

3 garlic cloves -- minced

Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to

taste

6 cups vegetable or faux chicken broth

1 package frozen okra -- (10 oz.)

1 can kidney beans -- (16 oz.) drained and rinsed

2 cups cooked white rice

 

Place the greens in a large soup pot with enough water to just cover

the greens. Bring to a boil and cook for 15 minutes. Drain, reserving

2 cups of the cooking water. On a cutting board, coarsely chop the

greens and set aside. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, whisk

1/4 cup oil and the flour together and cook, stirring constantly,

until the roux is a dark reddish-brown, about 15 minutes. Remove the

pan from the heat and set aside. In the large soup pot, heat the

remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté the onions, bell pepper,

celery, and tomatoes for about 10 minutes or until the vegetables are

wilted. Add the hot sauce, bay leaves, file powder, cayenne, thyme,

oregano, basil, parsley, garlic, salt, and pepper and cook for 5

minutes.

 

Add the roux, vegetable or faux chicken broth, and the reserved

greens-cooking water, stirring well to blend in the roux. Reduce the

heat and simmer, uncovered, for 15 minutes. Add the cooked collard

greens, okra, kidney beans, and rice and cook for 5 minutes. Remove

the bay leaves and serve warm.
