Guacamole is best made with fresh, ripe avocados. The avocados should be dark and not too mushy or too firm to the touch. Another way to make sure that the avocados aren’t overripe is to remove the small brown button on the stem end. The color underneath should be bright green, not brown, for a…
I never know what to do with collard greens, except of course boil them with pork. I don’t need to make the same old version of collard greens any longer – here, they add a lot of body to what would otherwise be a standard coleslaw. This recipe uses their crisp leaves to make a…
