Went on travel to Washington, D.C. and found these collards in a very "uptown" style restaurant. Looked everywhere for the recipe. Very delicious. -
These were colorful, not loaded with fat and infused with lots of flavor. Next time I'll leave out the sugar - didn't care for the sweetness. Love the recipe name.
