Submitted by zeldaz51

"A garlicky balanced spiciness for a delicious pot of greens. Use less garlic if you aren't a fan, but don't omit it completely. Other greens could be used, but the amounts of greens and water needed and the cooking time will vary. From "Diabetes Cooking for Everyone", by Carol Gelles. Exchanges: 2 vegetable, 1/2 fat."
