Which do you prefer?
Collard Greens or Mustard Greens?
We ate a lot of greens growing up in the tall piney woods of deep East Texas. Mama and Daddy always had a garden. Sometimes we ate mustard greens, for other meals we had collard greens.
As a new wife, my husband was stationed in El Paso, Texas in the early seventies. One weekend one of his army buddies came for a visit while we were cooking dinner. We had collard greens AND mustard greens, but were only going to cook the collards that day. The mustards were for another day.
Mustard Greens
His friend asked why we were only cooking collards and leaving the mustards. He said his family always mixed the two kinds of greens together, and they loved them. We gave it a try.
The rest is history. We love Collard greens, and we love Mustard greens. We especially love collards and mustards mixed since we learned this tip. They are awesomely delicious!
Do you mix collard greens and mustard greens together? Do you only eat them separately? Let us know in the comments sections. We'd love to hear all about it.
