Submitted by JenSmith

"I found this recipe from Cooks.com. I made it for our Thanksgiving dinner--just to make something different for a change. I have to tell you, not only was it pretty easy to make (other than the stemming), it was also very tasty. Everyone loved it. I hope you will enjoy it, too."

Made these with greens from my CSA basket. It was good. I would have liked the greens flavor to come out a little more. Maybe I did not have enough greens. I will definitely make it again.
