Grilling greens in a foil packet gives them great smoky flavor. Water, oil, and a few seasonings add a delicious flavor. After grilling, add a kick to these greens with thinly sliced jalapeño. Collard greens, a popular ingredient in the south, can be found in the produce section of the grocery store, usually near the kale or the Swiss chard.
