Ingredients

1 large bunch collard greens
1 pound ground pork
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons ground cumin
2 teaspoons red chili flakes
2 teaspoons onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 1/2 cups chicken stock
Special equipment: 8 by 8-inch baking dish

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the collards for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and pliable. Drain and set aside. In a large bowl, mix together pork, salt, cumin, chili flakes, onion powder, garlic powder, oregano, and nutmeg in a bowl. Divide into 4 sections to form oblong patties. Wrap each patty in 4 collard leaves. Place patties seam side down in the baking dish and add enough stock to reach 1/4 of the way up the stuffed greens. Cover with heavy-duty aluminum foil and bake until pork is cooked through, about 35 minutes.

Tasty

Easy to make and very tasty. The collards retain great flavor and the pork is moist and delicious. Even my collards-adverse... daugther thought this was good.Read more

stuffed collard greens
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Sunny mentioned good home cooking she ate in Hawaii while eating at a local family's house. Hawaii is really an international... melting pot of cuisines. Her pork-stuffed collard greens recipe looked and sounded like a Chinese dish called "Hom Yee" which is a little loaf of steamed ground pork and salted fish, which is probably why there was so much salt content. I know how the "Hom Yee" tastes and smells (very fishy!); I am a greens lover so I cannot wait to make Sunny's recipe for my family! Read more

O.K. Recipe
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I followed the recipe but would definitely cut the salt and chili flake amt. in half next time. It was o.k., but I didn't... feel the love like I thought I was going to. Good idea though.Read more

soo good!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I don't like pork by itself so I substituted meatloaf mix for the pork and added some chili flakes, nixed the nutmeg, added... some breadcrumbs and parm cheese and it was so great. My husband who does not like regular meatloaf now asks for this dinner once a week!! I also used v-8 as the sauce it cooks in (the only way i can sneak in extra veggies) instead of chicken stock.... it was wonderful!!! Very tasty and super moist!!!Read more

A definite repeat!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My husband and I made this dish for supper tonight. Instead of the pork, we used a mixture of lean ground beef and Arborio... rice. We cut the salt in half and left out the red chili flakes. We used fresh collard greens from our garden. We could not believe how good the dish was. Excellent flavor!! We are going to make it again and try it with the pork.Read more

I'm not a pork person can this be used with other meats like chicken, ground beef, or steak?
