Smoky Black-Eyed Peas & Collards

Recipe by: Dr. Michael Greger & Robin Robertson from The How Not to Die Cookbook
This Southern classic is a delicious way to enjoy your greens. If fresh collards are unavailable, substitute frozen collards or another dark green leafy vegetable, such as kale. I can’t get enough of this dish, especially when it’s over quinoa or brown, black, or red rice.
