Jamaican Women's Bean Project Turtle Beans & Organic Collard Greens: Crockpot Recipe

1. Soak organic, dried, Women's Bean Project  turtle beans/black beans for 24 hours in the fridge to soften and reconstitute them. Use 4 cups of dried beans. Check for, and discard any split/damaged/broken beans.

2. Drain and rinse the beans again, after they've soaked.

3. Put into a large crockpot:

-Presoaked, drained, rinsed, dried beans, 4 cups

-8 cups of triple-washed, organic, fresh, pre-cut collard greens

-1 large, organic, yellow onion, peeled, ends
trimmed off, washed, then diced into 1/4-inch

-1 to 2 TBL Walkerswood's Spicy Jamaican Jerk Marinade from World Market (in bottles)

-14 cups of organic, heritage, fat-free, reduced-sodium chicken broth (from locally-raised, USDA-certified organic, heritage chickens kept in roofed, screened, bird-flu resistant pens and coops to help protect the local farms from bird-flu outbreaks, which is economically devastating to an already fragile, under-valued, poultry market)

4. Cook in crockpot on low heat for four hours.

5. Serve this to the poor, illiterate, disenfranchised  farm and poultry factory workers (day laborers/migrant farm workers) while gathering them for free, annual one-hour healthcare physicals/medical exams and getting them free prescription eyeglasses. In order to help them gain GED, Naturalized Citizenships, and vocational literacy, we need them to be vaccinated, and able to see.

This needs to be done with only bilingual female, minority, poor, Democratic, single mothers from the barrio taking care of them. Otherwise, they'll end up discriminated against, socially outcasted, fired/economically oppressed/homeless, or illegally detained, if any of them are pregnant, scared, English language-learning, teenaged mothers with expired temporary visas. There needs to be a team of at least 5,000 Democratic, feminist, civil rights attorneys to help organize this event in every state, on a monthly basis for the governors.
