As a transplanted Southerner now living in Bristol, let me see if I can help. I've made something similar to collard greens over here by substituting chopped kale for the greens. If you cook everything else up the same, it works out pretty well. So, imagine cooked kale with all the other scrumptious goodies, and you'll get the idea.

I will investigate this fully. . . Thank you for the sofrito tip!

Being here in N Ireland, I have no clue what Collards are, or what our equivalent would be.

I "googled" it, but am none the wiser!!!

So that is what I have learned – that I don't know what they are!

Heather, you can find jars of sofrito in the Mexican section of your grocery store (http://www.amazon.com/Goya-Sofrito-12-Ounce-Jars-... But it is easy to make big batches and freeze it. You will find yourself reaching for it to flavor meat, beans, vegetables and rice. It works on just about anything.

Being a Yankee, I'm new to collards and all forms of "greens", but this sounds SCRUMPTIOUS. I will look for frozen greens and try this for my Fearless Friday. (Hubs, who hails from WV, will no doubt faint with joy if I make him greens!) Thanks, Heather.
P.S. Tell Ivy hello from us. She's in our prayers.

I edited this to make it more clear, but only puree the broiled items and pour the puree into the collards. Yes, the pureed stuff is sort of creamy, but it is also very thin and gets mixed in with the greens.

Family friendly or not, that is the truth.

In all honesty I've somehow managed to have never heard that term in my entire life. Wikipedia to the rescue. I'll have to keep an eye out for that. Thank you for the tip.

I need to learn more of these roasting things you do. I'm going to pick up some baking sheets and try it!
