Sautéed Greens with Smoked Paprika is a dish that has been passed down through generations in my family. My great-grandmother was a sharecropper in the Mississippi Delta, and she would often cook this dish for her family. The greens were grown in her garden, and the smoked paprika was made from peppers that she smoked herself. The dish was a staple in my great-grandmother's kitchen, and it has been a favorite of my family ever since.
