Although it's a little "vegetal" for spreading on toast, it is fantastic as a condiment with meats (pork or chicken). Ginger wants me to thank you for the recipe!Simon Batehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13064012922576473252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-60024071865327343922016-10-15T20:42:32.663+02:002016-10-15T20:42:32.663+02:00chow chow is good with black eyed peaschow chow is good with black eyed peasEvelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17824964122794535252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-44434806051112088092016-10-14T20:30:35.307+02:002016-10-14T20:30:35.307+02:00The potée was delish, but I forgot to add the coll...The potée was delish, but I forgot to add the collards, which had already been cooked, at the end.
