Ingredients
  • 3 single crust pastry sheets (store-bought refrigerated pre-rolled pastry crusts or homemade)
  • 4 oz. very finely chopped collard greens

  2. Meanwhile, fill a medium saucepan halfway full with water and heat to a boil over high heat. Add the collards, onion, garlic, hot sauce and salt. Simmer 5 minutes. Drain. Pat dry using kitchen towel.
