Yvette Freeman, best-known as nurse Haleh Adams on the long-running TV drama "ER," gave us permission to include one of her recipes in
The Collard Patch along with her bio.
She grows vegetables in her back yard. Quoting her website:
Among them are budding eggplants, lilac peppers, collard greens, red onions, kale, tomatoes, zucchini and watermelons, which are still producing after a long, hot summer. Herbs, including rosemary, basil, oregano, mint and thyme, are grown in containers in a shady nook near her kitchen.
This quotation is also from Yvette Freeman's website:
Since adopting her healthy lifestyle, Freeman has discovered new ways to incorporate favorite vegetables into home-cooked meals. She uses collard greens, for example, in her own version of Greek roll-ups.
"I use collard greens instead of grape leaves and stuff them with mushrooms and rice instead of meat," she said, adding she's also learned to propagate them by planting a leaf in the ground and watering it.
Now she dreams of having "collard trees," she said, chuckling.
