Kenyan-Style Collard Greens with Lemon

Being from the south where everyone from infants to adults eat collard greens, but not quiet like this. This was very different and a much healthier recipie from the collard grren cooked in smoked hamhocks. I like the dish and would cook it again. The lemon adds some real zest to this dish. Not as strong tasting as the southern recipies. Not as pungent in odor as other recipies.
