Recipe Collards With Red Onions

The cuisine referred to as “soul food” originated in the kitchens of African-American slaves in the late 1800s. Soul food recipes typically called for ingredients that are indigenous to Africa and were often found on American plantations. Dishes such as fried chicken, bread pudding, Hoppin’ John, greens and “potlikker,” catfish, and hushpuppies are worthy (and tasty) representatives of African-American culinary.
