Instructions
- Preheat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

- Add chopped kale or collard greens, cover, and allow the greens to wilt without overcooking. They should be bright green, slightly tender, but with a bit of crunch. About 3 to 5 minutes should do it.
- While greens are wilting, prepare the peanut butter sauce.
- In a small mixing bowl, add peanut butter, scotch bonnet pepper sauce, coconut aminos, Simple Homemade Date Syrup, and water. Stir well. The sauce should be smooth and creamy, like a thick dressing. Taste it and adjust seasonings, if needed.Â
