The CookingBites Recipe Challenge: Leafy Greens

[detroitdad]

I think I'll try a "greens" soup this weekend.

My wife made a grass omelette some time ago. She calls the grass "lost husband" but I've no idea of the proper name.

I make spinach and feta omelets all the time!!!

Cabbage would be considered a leafy green, I'm assuming (well, maybe not purple cabbage) - I can work with cabbage!

As long as it's leafy, it qualifies. I've always considered greens to mean the part of the plant, and less so the color.

Basil Mozzarella Wontons

I was rummaging in the fridge and spied some interesting ingredients. On a whim I threw together basil mozzarella wontons.

G liked them. He ate them as fast as I took them out of the skillet.

I am not sure if I posted the recipe in the correct forum. Feel free to move it if you think it belongs elsewhere. Thank you.

Speaking of "greens soup", bok choi is an integral ingredient of char siu noodles but I didn't prepare this so it's not an entry. I may get around to cooking it one day.

I left it in the herbs section as it is 'basil forward' as you say!

Are Brussels sprouts included? I sort of assumed so but thought I would check.

I'll be posting a couple older leafy green recipes shortly. I absolutely love Southern collard greens, which I first ate at a home-cooked rehearsal dinner one co-worker's sister cooked. I couldn't get enough of that dish that day. I think I went back for three helpings, and cornered the sister for her recipe. Even though I was born in the south myself, it wasn't something my parents ever cooked. I think my parents' parents tried to avoid "black southern/soul" cooking, and so my own never learned it. Over the 20 years since then, my recipe has likely diverged a little, but I still love it.

I mentioned an idea of roasting wild duck stuffed with greens and grapes.

I did try it and it lived up to my expectations. I can not post a recipe now. 1st I was so "in my head" that I forgot all about weights, measures, cooking time. 2nd I need to tweek it. Primarily the cooking time. I over cooked it. Unlike domestic fowl wild duck needs to be cooked medium rare. I used beet greens and spinach. The grapes were a perfect complement to the mild greens.

I will try again probably Tuesday. This time I will keep track of quantities and adjust the cooking time.

Margherita Pizza

This might be pushing the envelope of what a leafy green recipe is, but because I use the fresh basil leaves twice on such a simple topping I thought I'd enter it anyway.

Now that you mention it, they are basically tiny cabbages, so...yes.

On the basis that it may qualify because of the significant quantity of coriander leaf: Salsa.

The lo mein I made had a lot of bok choy in it, but I used a jarred sauce, so I wouldn't submit it for consideration.
