Next time, I'll just omit the collard greens, and perhaps pour the melted butter over sliced carrots instead. File the recipe under "O" for "Okra".

I got some beautiful collard greens and kale from my CSA and tried this for lunch today. Cooked them until just wilted, onto a plate, added a little parmesan and toasted pine nuts - delicious!
