Pickled Collard Greens with PineappleRoland Bello

Sweet-tart pineapple is wonderful with pork, as are collard greens. The two together, plus a healthy dose of vinegar, morph into something that's utterly surprising and utterly delicious. It both complements and cuts the richness of the meat.

Cooks' note:

Pickled collard greens can be made 4 days ahead and chilled. Serve cold or at room temperature.
