Winter CSA Subscription - Part 3

We're on our third of four deliveries for the winter CSA program. This delivery was a little different from the previous boxes. Sure, we got the eggs, a ground meat (beef this time), bread, apples, and some pecans (I love pecans but they are SO expensive), but we also got some vegetables that we haven't had in awhile. Our box today included some arugula, celery, a tomato, cilantro, and collard greens.

I am always looking for new ways to use collards, because they're just not something we enjoy eating. They tend to taste best when cooked with pork products, but I'm trying to avoid doing that (there are four emergency slices of bacon in the freezer, though). I think I'm going to try a twist on this recipe from Whole Foods, but take an enchilada or tamale approach (depending on the recipes I can find). We'll see how that works out. On the side, I'm going to serve this Millet Corn Casserole. We had this at R. Thomas a few weeks ago at brunch and it was pretty tasty. Plus, my husband can eat the leftovers in lieu of his morning yogurt.

I'll try to remember to take pictures of what I end up making with the collards tonight. Feel free to share any of your favorite recipes for collards.
