I had some big ol' collards in my CSA box this last week. They were as big as throw pillows, I kid you not. So big that they didn't fit in the crisper drawer, which quickly put them on the way to wilted...and made them perfect for stuffed collard rolls.
Collards are usually long cooked with a ham hock or andouille sausage, so I went for a filling somewhere in the middle, with ground pork, bacon and Cajun spices. While cabbage rolls often start with an uncooked filling that braises in the pot, I opted to cook it first since I was only going to throw these in the oven for 30 minutes.
