 Hey y'all welcome to what Chelsea eats. Thank you so much for joining me today I'm gonna show you how to make this healing southern collard and kale green recipe I grew up making the collard and kale green recipe with fat bag bacon Strickling whatever we could find to season these greens But in this video, I'm gonna show you the healthy way to make greens taste delicious And if you want to see how I make it stay tuned We're gonna start off by preparing one bunch of collard greens and one bunch of kale greens For this recipe, I chose dinosaur kale. Some people call it dinosaur Lossonado kale or flat leaf kale. You can use whatever variety of kale you would like for this recipe Just be sure to wash the kale before you cook it So here are the ingredients I'm going to use for this recipe But you will see the list of everything I used down in the description box below this video Aren't these ingredients beautiful? So first I'm gonna start off by heating my pan and adding some water for some non-toxic oil-free cooking I'm using my saute pan from 360 cookware I absolutely love this cookware if you want to know more there's a link down in the description box below with with videos I've done in the past and also they are offering a 25% discount for all of my viewers and the discount code is WCE25 if you're interested remember I'm gonna put all of the ingredients for this recipe down below in the description box We'll so there's onions around a little bit to get them softened up and so they can release their flavors into that water and then I'm gonna add some Garlic if you don't like garlic you can leave it out. You can even use garlic powder instead if you would like Stir those vegetables around that pan so they can get sauteed and the flavors can Meal together next I'm going to add some red bell pepper You can add whatever kind of peppers you want You can leave the peppers out be creative with whatever you're using you can you can use jalapenos if you want that? But that's not what I was going for for this particular recipe So next we're gonna add some mushrooms I had baby bella mushrooms on hand But if I had my druthers, I would have used shiitake mushrooms or Oyster mushrooms because they have more of that meaty sort of flavor or not flavor but texture and You can choose also to leave the mushrooms out all together So next we're gonna add our spices The first spice I'm gonna add is herb fests by frontier You can find this on my website at whatchelsie eats under the herbal blends tab Then I'm gonna add some garlic powder for more garlic because you guys know I'm a garlic lover And then I've got some pepper and some red pepper flakes You can also add some smoked paprika to this dish To give it a more smoky flavor I don't use liquid smoke But if you want that smoky flavor smoked paprika will add that flavor for you One thing I forgot to tell you all to do is to chop your greens into bite-sized pieces So I'm adding my greens to the pan and also in hindsight if I would have been thinking about it I would have used my stock pot because this pan was not big enough for me to put all of the greens in at once I had to put the greens in cook them down a little bit and then keep adding the greens until they fit all the way in this pot But you live and you learn my 360 cookware stock pot is probably the pot that I use the most for reference for you If in case you are interested in this cookware So I've added all of the greens to the pot and now I'm gonna add the rest of the ingredients This is apple cider vinegar if you like that Vinegary taste to your greens some people don't some people do Leave it out if you don't want it the next thing I add to the green So you're not putting all that salt in your greens if you notice I haven't used any salt is you put some lemon juice in it Now if you want to use salt go ahead and use salt But adding too much salt to our food is one of the reasons why there's so many health conditions So if you could avoid using a lot of salt, please do it That's why I use herb fest by frontier because it is a front a soul-free seasoning and Lemon is excellent to use to help you avoid Putting so much salt in your food. Also, you can use lime juice as well I actually believe that adding the lemon helps to pull all the flavors together. So Try it see how you like it So I used to add just a tiny bit of sugar to my greens to pull all the flavors together in this recipe I am adding raw honey. If you can see me pouring the honey over there. It's not too much honey It's just a little bit and it just pulls all the flavors together The thing to consider when you're making these greens is not to cook them to death I know that I cooked my greens to death all my life. That's what I was taught and We want to leave a little bit of crunch in there so we could get the nutrition that is still left in the greens and here I am adding some tomatoes and That just helps us to get some more fruits and vegetables into our diet in any way possible And it also adds some texture to the dish that you wouldn't ordinarily have if you weren't adding more vegetables The moral of the story is do not overcook your greens. You want to leave some Nutrition in your pot of greens. So, what do you think? Could you serve this at your next holiday meal?
