Creator Notes
My Immense Grandma immigrated to The united states from Potenza, Basilicata, Italy at the beginning put of the twentieth century. She feeble to kind this dish, as did my Grandma and my mother. Now I beget inherited the recipe, and I beget made it mine with a couple of adjustments. I beget made many versions of roasted greens, and my fresh trick is to roast them in a pre-heated forged-iron pan, which provides them an extra crispy crust. What makes this extra entertaining than long-established roasted greens, to my mind, is the addition of the cheese/breadcrumb/olive oil/spices topping. It emerges from the oven, golden and crunchy, and provides the greens a satisfying texture and model. This side dish is divine with any protein, nonetheless I beget taken to rising it for vacation dinners, as an accompaniment to high rib and roasted turkey, since my husband is now now not a fan of mashed potatoes. This recipe would maybe be easy to put collectively and without a doubt versatile. I beget written it, with the substances I most generally use, nonetheless it is also yummy with other greens (minute toddler turnips are a well-known addition as are toddler beets — use golden or Chioggia beets at the same time because it is possible you’ll well well rep them). —cookinginvictoria
