    Impressive recipe overall, but the collard greens are the star in this dish! The combination of the chicken broth and prosciutto give the greens an especially rich flavor. I'll never use water again to cook my greens -- in fact, I probably won't use another recipe for collard greens but this one.

    Double the garlic in the Beurre Blanc. This recipe is easy and better than any restaurant.

    Please note: I didn't make the crab cakes or the beurre blanc sauce...this just seemed like the best recipe for collard greens. They were fabulous! I used prosciutto and cooked the greens down for two hours. Perfect.
