Ingredients

1/2 smoked duck breast (skin on) chopped

1 large onion sliced

1 small parsnip julienned

1 large bunch collard greens chopped into ribbons

1/2 green cabbage cut into ribbons (optional)

1–2 tablespoons olive oil and/or butter

1 teaspoon ground coriander

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon garam masala

Directions

In a large dutch oven (or a big pot with a lid) on low heat, add the chopped duck breast and olive oil and/or butter to the pot for a couple of minutes. Then add the spices, and cook for a minute or two before adding the sliced onion. Let cook for 5 minutes and then add the parsnip and sweat.

Add the ribboned cabbage and collard greens, a few twists of freshly ground pepper, and two tablespoons of water to the pot and cover. Cook until the greens are wilted and tender to the bite.
