Yield Makes 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds collard greens, stemmed
1 1/2 pounds merguez sausage links
1/2 cup water
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon dried crushed red pepper
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup dried currants
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
10 ounces plain couscous, cooked according to package directions

Steps:

  • Bring large pot of salted water to boil; add collard greens and boil until soft, about 2 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup cooking liquid. Cool greens slightly and cut into 1-inch strips.
  • Place sausages and 1/2 cup water in heavy large skillet. Cook over medium heat until water evaporates and sausages start to brown, about 12 minutes. Continue cooking until sausages are cooked through, 12 to 15 minutes longer, depending on size of links.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in another heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add dried crushed red pepper and next 3 ingredients; stir 1 minute. Add greens and cook 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in currants. Add reserved 1 cup cooking liquid to skillet; bring to simmer. Partially cover pan and cook until liquid has reduced slightly, about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Stir cilantro and butter into hot couscous; divide among plates. Top with greens and sausages.

I followed the recipe exactly and the dish turned out terrible. The collard greens were tough and the merguez sausage was dry. I would not recommend this recipe.

This dish was a little bland for my taste. I think I would add more spices next time.

I wasn't a big fan of the merguez sausage in this dish. I think it would be better with a different type of sausage, like chorizo or kielbasa.

I found that the collard greens were a little tough, even after cooking them for the recommended amount of time. I think I would try cooking them for a little longer next time.

This dish was a little too spicy for my taste, but I think that's just because I don't like spicy food very much. Other than that, it was a really good recipe and I would definitely make it again.
