- 1 bunch collard greens, washed
- 1 cup water
- 1 large tomatoes, cored, chopped
- 5 green onions, sliced (green and white part)

Finely shred the greens, discarding tough stems.

Bring to boil and cook, stirring occasionally, just until greens are crunchy-tender (don't overcook).
Drain greens, reserving liquid.
Return greens to medium heat; add tomato and onions.
Heat through, stirring frequently.
Thin peanut butter with 3/4 cup of the reserved cooking liquid, then add to vegetables.
Heat, stirring constantly, until greens have a creamy consistency, adding more reserved liquid if mixture seems too thick.
Taste; add salt if needed.
