Biscuits Stuffed with Spicy Greens and Ham
Two Southern inspirations literally come together when you fill baking powder biscuits with spicy, sautéed greens.
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
2 pounds kale, collards, mustard, or turnip greens
2 tablespoons Organic Valley Butter or olive oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1/2 cup finely chopped Organic Prairie Ham
2 or more fresh hot peppers, minced
1/2 cup chicken stock
salt and pepper
Organic Prairie Butter, softened
8 baking powder biscuits
Instructions:
Clean greens in plenty of cold water. Slice leaves off the stems; cut the leaves into thin strips. Trim the stems, discard the thickest parts and finely chop the slender parts.
Heat butter or olive oil and garlic in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat. Stir in ham and hot peppers; sauté 1 minute. Stir in chopped stems; sauté 2-3 minutes. Add chopped leaves and cook, stirring, until they are wilted, another minute or two.
Add chicken stock and cook, stirring, until the stock is absorbed and greens are fully tender, 3-5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Split biscuits and butter the cut sides. Pile greens onto bottom halves, add top halves biscuits, and serve immediately.
