Collard Greens
Heat 8 cups water, 2 veggie bouillon cubes, and 2 teaspoons liquid smoke to boiling. Add collard greens (cleaned and very roughly chopped if needed to fit in the pot). The water should be enough to cover the greens. Cover loosely and simmer for 45 minutes, stirring once halfway through. Check the biggest stems for tenderness and cook more if needed. Strain and save the juice for dipping cornbread in, or for a soup base. Chop the greens. Add some of the juice back if they are dry. Salt to taste.
All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that
makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and
an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead.
-- Samuel Beckett
