This recipe strikes the ultimate balance between rich sweetness, bold Caribbean heat, and tender, flaky seafood. Pure maple syrup, savory soy sauce, and fiery Scotch bonnet blend into a sticky, lacquer-like glaze that clings to the fish as it gently cooks. Smoking low and slow keeps the interior ultra-moist, while the overnight dry brine locks in moisture and builds a tacky pellicle for maximum smoke absorption. The result is a melt-in-your-mouth texture with a deep, smoky umami flavor in every bite.

While I’ve put collard greens in my duck and andouille sausage gumbo, my shrimp, lobster and scallop gumbo, and 3 crabs’ and crawfish gumbo, until today, I’ve never made gumbo collard greens. That is a gumbo where the greens are the star of the show. I was preparing dinner for a dear friend’s birthday celebration. She wanted ‘soul food.’ I didn’t want to serve the usual collards, so I went in search of collard green recipes online. Much to my delight I found many different versions of collard greens gumbo. I decided that was what I was going to prepare, my version of collard greens gumbo. When I told her what I was planning on doing, to say she was a tad dubious would be an understatement. So, I took the humble collard greens and took them up 10 notches, by turning them into a delicious and flavorful gumbo. Was it worth it? Was it worth all that time and effort? Making collard greens gumbo has a few moving parts. Creating the stock from smoked meat, which can be done beforehand, or even a couple of weeks before and then frozen. Making the roux, which can also be made ahead of time, refrigerated or frozen. The collard greens can also be prepped ahead of time too. And yes, they can be frozen as well. And finally putting it all together. So, in answer to my question, was it worth it? Oh, my goodness, it is ooh, soooooooo worth it!
