Steps:
- 1. Wash the collard greens well. Remove the largest stems, then gather bunches of the leaves together and roll them up into a bundle. Thinly slice the bundles crosswise, cutting the leaves into very thin strips.
- 2. Finely chop the garlic. (or to be really traditional, mash the garlic with the kosher salt with a mortar and pestle)

- 5. Season greens with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.
