  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon ground clove
  • dash of sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper
  • water as needed

  • Wash the skin of the squash.
  • Using a vegetable peeler, peel the outer skin from the squash. Next use a julienne peeler to cut squash into julienne slices. About half of the squash will yield 4 cups, you can save to rest for later use. If you don't have a julienne peeler, peel using vegetable peeler and cut strips into julienne slices or just chop the strips into smaller pieces. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Wash greens thoroughly.
  • Lay greens flat on cutting board, use a sharp knife to cut along the spine of each side of the collard to remove the stem, cutting the collard into two pieces.
  • Stack leaves and roll stack lengthwise and cut each roll into 1 inch pieces. You will now have long ribbons. If yo like you can cut the strips into smaller pieces. You will have to do several stack at a time.
  • Place the greens in a large bowl and set aside
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and saute squash until it starts to soften, about a minute or so.
  • Season with the nutmeg and clove and continue to saute another 2 to 3 minutes. Add water 1 tablespoon at a time if pan get to dry and it starts to stick. Remove from pan and set aside.
  • Return skillet to burner and pour the remaining olive oil into skillet and saute greens until they start to soften.
