For those times that your fridge is bustin’ at the seams with greens.
I had this problem (not really a problem) at the end of this growing season. The garden created SO MANY GREENS, I didn’t know what to do with them.
Do you have this problem ever?
If so, here are some good ideas for you:
- Kale chips or collard green chips
- Chop and freeze for your smoothies or soups
- Use them as wraps
- Use this recipe to curry them up and stew them down!
This recipe does an awesome job of compressing a countertop full of greens into a pot of green goodness.
