Fresh Cooked Collard Greens - cooking recipe

Ingredients

handful fresh collard greens
beef or turkey sausage
salt, pepper, cumin and hot sauce
medium onion, minced
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
juice of 1 lemon

Preparation

Cut and wash large handful of fresh collard greens.
In large pot, brown sausage, onion and garlic.
If turkey sausage is used, add olive oil (or other oil) to coat pan and avoid sticking.
As ingredients cook on low heat, cut the greens by first cutting out the thick center stem, then cut the leaves in 1 to 2-inch pieces (small).
Begin adding the cut greens to the cooking sausage mixture.
Let saute just slightly, then add just enough water to prevent any sticking.
Greens should simmer until tender, from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
As they cook, add lemon juice, salt, pepper, small amount of cumin and hot pepper sauce to taste.
Hot pepper sauce is hot peppers in vinegar, canned.
