Ingredients:
- 1 bunch of collards, steamed
- 1 lb ground pork
- 1-2 tbsp coconut oil

Preparation:
- Wash collards, removing hard stems. In a steamer basket, layer the collards. Steam until they are soft & pliable.
- In a large skillet, sauté ginger, lemongrass & garlic in oil. Once they become soft & fragrant, add in your ground pork. Stir until pork is evenly cooked.
