Gomen (Ethiopian collard greens) http://casselljourneytoafrica.blogspot.com/2012/02/ethiopian-food-gomen.html 1 lb collard greens, washed & coarsely chopped Nit'ir Qibe or regular butter 1 red onion, diced a few cloves garlic (however much you like), minced several green hot peppers, thinly sliced - this part is really up to you. If you love super-spicy foods (which I do), get some really hot peppers, like serranos.   However, my kids don't like spicy so much, so I just use 1 much milder pepper.  Most recently, I used Anaheim peppers and it was hardly spicy at all. Boil your collards for 10 minutes or so, until they've softened a good bit. Once your collards have been going about 5 minutes, put a big ole chunk of your nit'ir qibe in a hot skillet. If you didn't take my advice and make this amazing butter, you can use regular butter or oil, but I feel very sad for you right now.  If you did take my advice, bask in the amazing smell you now have permeating your house and pretend you are actually in Ethiopia! :)  And wait for a spouse and/or children to come out of the woodwork, wanting to know how much longer till dinner's ready! Saute your red onion in the butter, about 4-5 minutes, stirring often to make sure they don't brown. Drain your collards, and then add them along with the garlic and peppers to the red onion. Lower the heat and cook it down until the collards have really wilted, stirring frequently.  Taste it as you go and add butter/nit'ir qibe until you like how it tastes. I like to taste a little bit of the bitterness from the collards. I usually end up adding about the same amount of butter I started with.
