SOUTHERN BRAISED GREENS
New Orleans - home to beignets, gumbo and jambalaya - is not exactly a mecca of healthy eating. Lifelong resident Courtney Clark grew up in the Lower Ninth Ward watching friends and family cook dishes that were loaded with salt and fat, and then tragedy struck: By age 35, she had lost her mom and her husband to heart disease. She was desperate to save others from a similar fate. Enter Backyard Gardeners Network, a nonprofit that maintains community gardens and teaches locals how to think differently about their diets. Courtney joined the team five years ago, and now she runs a 10-week course called Food as Medicine. In the class she teaches participants how to read nutrition labels, eat more plant-based foods and adjust their cooking (like making their own low-sodium Creole seasoning). Many of her students have lost weight, lessened or stopped medications and shifted their way of eating entirely. "It's hard trying to change the minds of people who have been cooking one way for all of their lives," she admits. "But to hear a lady in her late 60s say, 'This is the first time I'm tasting an avocado, and I love it,'...that's what I live for. We're gathering people around good, fresh food that's not going to give them a heart attack," she says. Here's Courtney's healthy take on a classic Southern side.

Steps:
- Remove the large stems from the collard greens, mustard greens and kale and cut the leaves into bite-size pieces.
- Heat the coconut oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add all the onions and cook until softened and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, or until softened.
- Add the stock, Creole seasoning, curry powder, paprika and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Start adding the greens in batches, letting them wilt slightly before adding more; it may take about 10 minutes to get all the greens to fit. Cover and simmer, stirring halfway through, until the greens are wilted and tender, about 25 minutes. Season with salt, if desired.

Steps:
- Wash the greens well, picking them over to remove any brown spots or blemishes. Drain well. Discard the discolored outer leaves and cut out the thick ribs. Tear the greens into pieces. Place the bacon strips in a large heavy saucepan and cook over medium heat until it is translucent and the bottom of the pan is coated with the rendered bacon fat. Add the greens and the water and bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook until the greens are tender, about 2 hours. Add the seasonings and serve hot. Top with traditional accompaniments, if desired.;

- Traditionally, greens are accompanied by a hot sauce, chopped onions, and vinegar. In some parts of the South, cooks add a pinch of sugar to the greens to take away a bit of their bite.
