Veggie Plate Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Green Beans

   Wash the green beans and trim the ends. In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the beans for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.

2. 2

   Cook the Collard Greens

   In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat. Add chopped onions and cook until translucent. Stir in the collard greens and sauté for about 10 minutes. Add vegetable broth and simmer for 30 minutes until tender.

3. 3

   Fry the Okra

   Slice the okra into 1/2 inch pieces. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge the okra in cornmeal, then fry until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   Prepare the Corn

   If using fresh corn, cut the kernels off the cob. In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, add corn, and sauté for about 5 minutes until heated through and slightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
