Carter's fresh take on a Southern classic.
It's a Southern tradition to have collard greens along with a helping of hoppin' John on New Year's Day, but you don't have to cook those greens the same ol' way. Add some spice to the leafy vegetable with Chef Robert Carter's recipe for peppered collard greens. Pick up a bunch or two of Certified South Carolina greens so you can have more cash in 2013.
