Steps:
- For the lemon yogurt sauce: Add the yogurt, lemon juice, dill, coriander and some salt and pepper to a bowl. Mix together, then drizzle some olive oil on top and garnish with a sprig of dill.
- For the collards: Bring a large pot of water to a boil and have a bowl of ice water ready. Boil the collard leaves until bright green and pliable, about 1 1/3 minutes. Transfer to the ice water to cool. Gently squeeze the leaves dry.
- Lay out the leaves one at a time on a paper towel to blot, and use a sharp knife to cut out the thick center stems, cutting about three-quarters of the way to the top and making sure to leave 2 to 3 inches uncut at the top. Set the trimmed leaves aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the rice, raisins and allspice and cook, stirring, until the rice is well coated, about 1 minute. Add 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and remove from the heat. Stir in the dill, parsley, mint and lemon zest.
- Lay out one collard leaf with the intact end pointing towards you and the trimmed stem end pointing away. Spoon 2 level tablespoons of the rice filling in the center of the side facing you. Fold the sides of the leaf over the filling, then roll the leaf up tightly away from you like a burrito, starting from the bottom and finishing seam-side down. Repeat with the remaining leaves and rice filling. (Some of the larger leaves may need to be trimmed slightly if they appear too bulky when rolled up.)
- Add a splash of the remaining 3 tablespoons oil to a medium saucepan. Arrange the collard rolls in a single layer on the bottom of the pan. Top with enough water to just cover the rolls, then drizzle in the remaining olive oil and the lemon juice. Cover the rolls directly with a round of parchment paper. Bring the liquid to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to a low simmer and cook, covered with a lid, for 1 hour. Remove the rolls from the liquid, drain on a paper towel-lined plate and let cool to room temperature. Serve with lemon wedges and the lemon yogurt sauce.

Yield 10-12 servings
Number Of Ingredients 14
Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat oven to 300°F. Cut cornbread into 1" cubes and divide between 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Toast, turning over halfway through, until outsides are dried out and some of the sides are golden brown, 45-55 minutes.
- Increase oven temperature to 350°F. Lightly butter a 13x9" baking dish. Heat oil in a large Dutch oven or other heavy pot over medium-high. Arrange sausage in a single layer in pot and cook, undisturbed, until browned underneath, about 4 minutes. Break up into bite-size pieces with a heatproof rubber spatula or wooden spoon and continue to cook, tossing occasionally, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes longer. Transfer sausage to a large bowl.
- Reduce heat to medium-low and add 8 Tbsp. butter to same pot; swirl to melt and to coat bottom of pot. Add onion, celery, garlic, rosemary, salt, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring often, until vegetables are softened but not yet browned, about 5 minutes. Add collard greens and cook, tossing occasionally, until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add cream and 1 cup broth and bring mixture to a bare simmer. Cover pot and cook until greens are softened, 7-9 minutes.
- Add vegetable mixture to bowl with sausage; mix in remaining 11/2 cups broth, then eggs. Add cornbread and carefully toss once (don't break up pieces). Let sit 5 minutes, then gently toss again. Let sit until almost all the liquid has been absorbed, about 5 minutes more. Transfer stuffing, still being gentle with it, to prepared baking dish. Dot surface with pieces of remaining 1 Tbsp. butter and cover with foil.
- Bake stuffing until hot in the center when pierced with a paring knife, 20-25 minutes. Remove foil and continue to bake until surface is deep golden brown and there are some crispy bits of sausage and greens on top, 25-30 minutes more.
- Do Ahead
- Cornbread croutons can be made 2 days ahead; store in an airtight container at room temperature. Stuffing can be assembled but not baked one day ahead; cover and chill. Bring to room temperature before baking.
Tips:
- Choose the right collard greens: Look for collard greens that are deep green in color and have crisp, firm leaves. Avoid any leaves that are wilted or have yellow or brown spots.
- Prepare the collard greens properly: Before stuffing, wash the collard greens thoroughly and remove the tough center stems. Blanch the leaves in boiling water for a few minutes to soften them and make them more pliable.
- Use a variety of fillings: Feel free to experiment with different fillings for your stuffed collard greens. Some popular options include rice, beans, lentils, vegetables, and nuts. You can also add herbs, spices, and seasonings to your liking.
- Cook the stuffed collard greens thoroughly: Stuffed collard greens can be cooked in a variety of ways, including boiling, steaming, and baking. Make sure to cook them until the filling is heated through and the collard greens are tender.
- Serve with a flavorful sauce: Stuffed collard greens are often served with a sweet and sour sauce, a tomato sauce, or a yogurt sauce. Choose a sauce that complements the flavors of the filling and the collard greens.
Conclusion:
Austrian stuffed collard greens with sweet and sour sauce is a delicious and hearty dish that can be enjoyed by vegans and non-vegans alike.
