Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 bunches collard or kale greens, about 2 pounds
3 tablespoons olive oil
4 garlic cloves, whole
2 quarts chicken broth
1 tablespoon vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • To prepare the greens: cut away the tough stalks and stems from the collards and discard any leaves that are bruised or yellow. Fill the sink with water and salt, the salt helps to remove any impurities. Wash the collards thoroughly to remove the grit, 2 or 3 times, until the water runs clear. Dry thoroughly. Stack up several leaves and roll up lengthwise in a bundle, cut them into 1-inch ribbons. Repeat until all the leaves are shredded.
  • Heat a large deep skillet over medium flame and coat with the oil. Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes to soften. Add the greens and toss well with the oil and garlic. Pour in the chicken broth and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the greens are wilted and tender; take care not to overcook. Season with salt and pepper and serve.

SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS WITH GARLIC

Collard greens are normally associated with a long, slow cooking time, but this method requires only 10 minutes of steaming. Sauteing the leaves with garlic first balances the vegetable's bitterness. Pull or cut out the thick stems, and wash the leaves well before using.

SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS

Feel free to substitute turnip greens. This recipe has been posted to accompany my Recipe #373109 and Recipe #373203...they complement each other so well! But this recipe is a nice alternative to the traditional southern cooked collard greens loaded with bacon fat. If you like your greens more tender, you'll need to increase the cooking time and add more stock. Cook according to your taste!

Time 20m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

24 ounces fresh collard greens, coarsely chopped (feel free to substitute turnip greens)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup onion, finely diced
crushed red pepper flakes, season to your taste
1/2 cup chicken stock, homemade is best
kosher salt
black pepper, freshly cracked

Steps:

  • Wash greens thoroughly, making sure all dirt and grit have been removed.
  • In a large saucepan, place collards in hot water for 3 minutes, remove and drain.
  • In a large skillet, melt butter, then add onions and crushed red pepper flakes, saute.
  • Once onions are tender, add collard greens and chicken stock to the pan.
  • Cook on high heat, stirring occasionally for 5 to 7 minutes. Test a piece of the greens -- if you want yours more tender, cook longer, adding more stock or water to keep them from burning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
