Coconut Braised Collard Greens with Butternut Squash

Coconut braised collard greens with butternut squash is a delicious and healthy dish that combines the earthy flavors of collard greens with the sweet creaminess of butternut squash. The collard greens are cooked separately until tender and then sautéed with onions, garlic, and ginger in coconut milk. Cubed butternut squash is added to the mixture and cooked until soft. The dish is seasoned with turmeric, lemon juice, and optional cayenne pepper for some heat. It can be served as a side dish or a vegetarian main course option for Thanksgiving.
