You have seen one of my favorite recipes Sausage, Peppers, and Onions, right? This simple variation is great for those nights when you need something lower carb, have gluten free guests, or simply want to incorporate more cruciferous vegetables into your diet.

You can substitute any of your favorite greens, cut into shreds, for the collards in this meal without any changes. If you would like to get super adventurous and try something like broccoli rabe in place of the collard greens, then I strongly recommend you do not omit the recommended blanching step. With milder greens, blanching is unnecessary, but if you are particularly sensitive to bitter flavors, go ahead and add the optional tomatoes or a squeeze of lemon juice to reduce any potential bitter flavor.
