Ethiopian Collard Greens and Spiced Cheese Directions
- Melt ¼ c. butter with cardamom, salt and pepper. Sauté the chopped garlic in this spiced butter for a few minutes, just long enough to infuse the butter with its flavor. Remove from heat and cool. Stir into the cheese. Cook the collard greens, covered, in a 4-quart saucepan with ½ c. water. Add the cayenne, more 1-2 tsp black pepper, crushed garlic, remaining ¼ c. butter and chopped onion. Cook, covered, until the greens collapse. Allow the greens to cool a bit- salt to taste. Drain and place on a platter, spooning the cheese over the greens to serve.
