Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 32 oz cooked collards
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp iodized salt
  • 2 cups chopped onions
  • 3 cups white rice (long-grain)
  • 3 lbs ground beef (85% lean / 15% fat)

Directions

  • Wash fresh collard green leaves and remove hard stems leaving as much of the leaf in tact. Set aside.
  • In large bowl, combine ground beef, uncooked rice, chopped onions, salt and pepper.
  • Take about a handful of the meat mixture and place at the bottom of the collard leaf then roll. Fold the side in and continue to roll. Do this for each leaf.
  • Place the hard stems from the collard green at the bottom of a deep pot then layer the rolls tightly.
  • Fill the pot with water just to the top of the rolls. Add olive oil.
  • Bring the pot to a boil for 5 minutes then reduce the heat to low and cook for about 40 minutes.
