This recipe is AWESOME!!! Every place I have taken it, I get rave reviews and asked for the recipe. I have to admit, I did change it though. I tried it with fresh greens and thought they were too tough for my Southern palate. So, I get two cans of collard and two cans of mustard and used them straight out of the can. No draining. It is much quicker and tastier. (IMHO LOVE them like this!!!! Great job Robert. I also use two types of vinegar. Sometimes apple cider and rice wine; and othertimes raspberry and champagne. The addition of garlic is genious.
