Poached Eggs Over Collard Greens & Shiitake Mushrooms
Prep and Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:

• 6 cups chopped collard greens (stems removed)
• 1 medium onion, cut in half and sliced thin
• 6 fresh shiitake mushrooms, sliced medium thick, stems removed
• 4 fresh omega-3-rich eggs
• about 4 cups water
• 1 TBS apple cider vinegar, or any white wine vinegar
• 
  
• Dressing
• 1 TBS fresh lemon juice
• 1 TBS minced fresh ginger
• 3 medium cloves garlic pressed
• 1 TBS soy sauce
• 1 TBS extra virgin olive oil
• salt and white pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Slice onions and press garlic and let sit for 5-10 minutes to bring out their health-promoting benefits.
2. Bring lightly salted water to a boil in a steamer.
3. Rinse greens well. Roll or stack leaves and cut into ½" slices and cut again crosswise. Cut stem into ¼" slices. Let sit for 5 -10 minutes.
4. Steam collard greens, mushrooms and onions together for 5 minutes.
5. While steaming greens, get ready for poaching eggs by bringing water and vinegar to a fast simmer in a small, shallow pan. You can start on high heat, and once it comes to a boil, reduce heat to a simmer before adding eggs. Make sure there is enough water to cover eggs.
6. Mix together lemon juice, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a small bowl.
7. Poach eggs until desired doneness. This will take about 5 minutes, or just until the white is set and the yolk has filmed over.
8. Remove vegetables from steamer and toss with dressing. Remove eggs from water with a slotted spoon and place on plate of tossed greens.
