A delicious (and nutrient-rich) accompaniment to Fried Tilapia. The recipe was provided by Will Allen, founder and CEO of the Growing Power National Training and Community Food Center in Milwaukee.

Ingredients:

• 1 to 2 pounds collard greens
• 3 tablespoons olive oil (or equal amounts butter and olive oil)
• Salt and pepper

Method:

1. Thoroughly wash collard greens.
2. Roll up greens and chop them.
3. Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat and add chopped greens. Add salt and pepper to taste (you can also add a little honey).
4. Stir-fry for about 15 minutes (less if you prefer them crunchier).
