- Big bunch of collard greens (‘bettes’ in French or ‘warmoes’ in Dutch)

on the plate
Peel the potatoes and boil them in slightly salted water in about 20′ or until tender (put a fork in them to check).
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Slice the leeks & collard greens wash and set aside.
- Clean the mushrooms with tissue paper (no water!), slice and set aside.
- Prepare the garlic (sliced or use a garlic press).
- Heat up some oil in a non sticky wok; stir fry the leek for a a few minutes until slightly brown; add the mushrooms, stir fry for another few minutes; add the collard greens, stir fry for a few minutes; add the vegan bacon and mix in all the dry spices (not the nutritional yeast!), stir fry for another few minutes; lower the heat.
- Once the potatoes are done, pour out the water, rinse with a bit of cold water and slice the potatoes in equal quarters.
- Add the potatoes to the vegetables/ bacon mixture; add the garlic; add the wild garlic; add the soy cream and the nutritional yeast. Mix well. Then turn of the heat.
- Grease a medium sized oven dish with some oil.
- Fill the oven dish with the content of your wok, make sure the soy cream covers the mixture of vegetables, bacon & potatoes.
- Put the baking dish in the oven and back for about 30 minutes.
Serve like that or with a green salad.
