Senior Cook
You're right - the average southern cook in the kitchen is not adding beer, molasses, etc to an age-old recipe of greens. It really is fantastic though - I would challenge you to be a bit adventurous and give it a try.
I give emeril liscense to change any recipe he'd like, he's lived here so he knows southern food. I'll try it on hubby (he's nuts about greens) and see if he approves. Mostly though, the biggest thing is getting the dirt out. I see now they have it pre-bagged in the stores, but usually I get it from a dear old (literally!) friend who brings it to me in huge, dirty bunches! I was raised not to look a gift horse in the mouth so I start the sink up....kansasgirl said:You're right - the average southern cook in the kitchen is not adding beer, molasses, etc to an age-old recipe of greens.
