Collard greens are hearty, nutritious, and readily available in the US. This vegan side dish relies on onions, garlic and ginger for its flavor. This would make a great Ethiopian-Jewish addition to your Passover holiday table or a tasty veggie for a barbecue.Recipe Courtesy Beejhy Barhany, Tsion Cafe

  3. Add the 2 pounds collards (they will reduce when cooked) and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Cook for 20 minutes while stirring, until collards are soft.
