Instructions: 8 SERVINGS OVO-LACTO

This creamy pudding recipe uses two American favorites: collard greens and cornmeal. While the egg lightens and enriches the dish, it isnt absolutely necessary; feel free to leave it out or substitute 2 egg whites.

In large saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add collard greens, cover and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Uncover pan, add garlic and cook, stirring often, 2 minutes longer. Transfer greens to plate and set aside.

Add milk and corn to pan and bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.

Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly whisk in cornmeal. Cook, whisking constantly to break up any lumps, about 2 minutes. Add egg and whisk well.

Cook, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir in cheese, sage, hot pepper sauce, nutmeg and reserved collard greens and whisk until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
