COLLARD GREENS STUFFED WITH RAISINS, NUTS AND RICE



Collard Greens Stuffed With Raisins, Nuts and Rice image

If greens, raisins, nuts and grains of rice all symbolize prosperity, then you'll do well to make this recipe for your New Year's Eve party. Collard greens are great stuffing leaves; they are large and easy to work with, and they can stand up to long simmering. The filling is a typical Greek dolmades filling.

Time 2h

Yield About two dozen stuffed leaves

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 large bunch collard greens (about 1 1/2 pounds), stemmed
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 large red or yellow onion, finely chopped
4 garlic cloves, green shoots removed, minced
Salt to taste
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 cup rice, either medium-grain or basmati, rinsed well in several changes of water
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup lightly toasted pine nuts (to taste)
1 14-ounce can chopped tomatoes, drained (retain juice)
2 tablespoons to 1/4 cup currants or dark raisins (to taste)
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground allspice berries
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/4 cups water
2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Juice of 1 lemon
1 lemon, sliced thin (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you carefully stem the collard greens, trying to keep the leaves intact. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the collard leaves in batches. Blanch two minutes and transfer to the ice water. Drain, gently squeeze out excess water and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil over medium heat in a large lidded skillet, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, salt and sugar, and cook, stirring, until the garlic is fragrant, about a minute. Add the rice and pine nuts, and stir together until the rice is coated with oil. Stir in the tomatoes, currants, cinnamon, allspice and salt and pepper to taste. Stir together, and add 1 cup water or enough to barely cover the rice. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover and simmer until all of the liquid has been absorbed, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat. Allow to sit for 10 minutes without disturbing. Stir in the mint and dill.
  • Oil a wide, deep, lidded sauté pan or saucepan with olive oil. To fill the leaves, place one on your work surface, vein side up and with the stem end facing you. The leaf may have a big space in the middle where you stemmed it; if so, pull the two sides of the leaf in towards each other and overlap them slightly. Place about 1 level tablespoon of filling on the bottom center of each leaf. Fold the sides over, then roll up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Place seam side down in the pan, fitting the stuffed leaves in snug layers. Drizzle on the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, and pour on the lemon juice. Barely cover with water, and top with a layer of lemon slices.
  • Cover the stuffed leaves with a round of parchment paper, and place a plate over the paper to weight them during cooking. This will keep them from opening. Bring to a simmer, cover and simmer over low heat for 45 minutes to an hour until the leaves are tender. Remove from the heat, and carefully remove the dolmades from the water with a slotted spoon or tongs. Allow to drain on a rack set over a sheet pan. Serve warm or cold.

STUFFED COLLARD GREENS



Stuffed Collard Greens image

Collard greens are great leaves to stuff. They remind me a bit of grape leaves, though they don't need to be brined before you stuff them. Just remove the stems, blanch them, fill and cook like cabbage leaves. I used medium-grain Cal-Rose rice that I bought at my local Iranian market for these; this type of rice is perfect for stuffing grape leaves and vegetables, the package told me, because it doesn't swell when cooking and won't break the leaf.

Time 2h

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 large bunch collard greens (about 1 1/2 pounds), stemmed
1/4 cup olive oil
1 large red or white onion, finely chopped
Salt to taste
1 1/4 cups medium-grain rice, rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons pine nuts
2 to 3 garlic cloves (to taste), minced
1/3 cup chopped fresh dill
1/3 cup finely chopped mint
1/2 cup finely chopped flat-leaf parsley
Freshly ground pepper to taste
1/3 to 1/2 cup strained freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1 lemon, sliced (optional)

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil while you carefully stem the collard greens, trying to keep the leaves intact. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the collard leaves, in batches. Blanch for 2 minutes and transfer to the ice water. Drain, gently squeeze out excess water and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil over medium-low heat in a large nonstick skillet and add the onions and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the onion is tender but not browned, 5 to 8 minutes. Add the pine nuts and garlic, stir together and add the drained rinsed rice. Stir for a minute or two, until you hear the rice begin to crackle, then remove from the heat. Toss with the herbs, salt and pepper, and 1 tablespoon olive oil. To gauge how much salt you will need, use the amount that you would use when cooking 1 1/4 cups of rice.
  • Oil a wide, deep lidded sauté pan or saucepan with olive oil. To fill the leaves, place one on your work surface, vein side up and with the stem end facing you. The leaf may have a big space in the middle where you stemmed it; if it does, pull the two sides of the leaf in toward each other and overlap them slightly. Place about 1 level tablespoon of filling on the bottom center of each leaf. Fold the sides over, then roll up tightly, tucking in the sides as you go. Place in the pan, seam side down, fitting the stuffed leaves in snug layers.
  • Whisk together the lemon juice, remaining oil, and tomato paste with 2 tablespoons water. Season to taste with salt. Pour over the rolls. Add enough water to barely cover the rolls and top with a layer of lemon slices if desired. They will add some bitterness to the dish because of the bitter oils in the lemon skin. Invert a plate over the rolls to keep them wrapped and in position, and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cover the pan, turn the heat to low and simmer for 1 hour, at which point the leaves will be tender and the rice cooked. Remove from the heat and carefully remove the stuffed leaves from the water to a platter or to plates with a slotted spoon or tongs. Allow to cool for at least 15 minutes. Taste the liquid left in the pot and adjust seasonings. Serve the rolls warm or at room temperature with the liquid from the pot as a sauce.

COLLARD GREEN RICE



Collard Green Rice image

It doesn't get more Gullah-Geechie than this dish! You know I've got to have a bowl of rice on the table and the addition of tender greens makes this rice pilaf even better. I like to serve it in my West African Stew or on the side of my Grilled Stuffed Whole Snapper.

Provided by Kardea Brown

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 cups long-grain white rice, rinsed
3 cups low-sodium chicken stock
Miss Brown's House Seasoning, recipe follows
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 large sweet onion, diced
1 green bell pepper, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup finely chopped collard greens
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the rice and cook, toasting until the rice begins to smell nutty, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the chicken stock and some House Seasoning. Bring it to a boil; cover, reduce the heat to low and cook until the rice is tender and has absorbed all the liquid, 20 to 25 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, heat the butter and remaining tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion, pepper, garlic and a generous pinch of House Seasoning. Cook until just tender and beginning to brown, about 5 minutes. Add the collards and cook until softened, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Once the rice is cooked and the liquid is absorbed, turn off the heat. Remove the lid and add the onions and collard green mixture. Fluff and stir gently with a fork to combine.
  • Stir together the garlic and onion powders, paprika, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Store in an airtight container.

SICILIAN COLLARD GREENS WITH PINE NUTS AND RAISINS



Sicilian Collard Greens With Pine Nuts and Raisins image

From The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone To make this dish macrobiotic-friendly, substitute the pine nuts with pumpkin seeds and the balsamic vinegar with shoyu (soy sauce). Note: The stems of the collard greens are full of minerals, so if you want to use them, chop them into 1-inch pieces and cook for a couple of minutes before adding the collard greens.

Provided by allona519

Categories     Collard Greens

Time 15m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups collard greens
2 tablespoons pine nuts
3 garlic cloves, peeled and chopped (or 1 1/2 tsp minced garlic from a jar)
1 tablespoon olive oil
3 tablespoons raisins
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar

Steps:

  • Use a sharp knife to cut out the central rib and stem from each collard leaf. Rinse the leaves in a sink of cool water, lifting them into a colander to drain a bit (you want some water to remain on the leaves).
  • Toast the pine nuts over medium heat in a dry skillet for about 5 minutes or until golden.
  • Shake the pan often to keep the pine nuts from burning. Transfer to a plate, and set aside.
  • Place the garlic and oil in a large skillet, and saute over medium heat for 1 minute or until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Add the damp collards and stir, then cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes longer.
  • Add the raisins and pine nuts, and stir. Cover and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Stir in the balsamic vinegar, cover, and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes longer.
