SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right collard greens: Look for collard greens that are dark green and have firm, crisp leaves. Avoid any greens that are wilted or have yellow or brown spots.
- Wash the collard greens thoroughly: Collard greens can be gritty, so it's important to wash them thoroughly before cooking. Rinse them under cold water, then remove the tough stems and center ribs.
- Chop the collard greens finely: Finely chopped collard greens will cook more evenly and quickly. You can chop them by hand or use a food processor.
- Sauté the collard greens over medium heat: Sautéing the collard greens over medium heat will help them to brown and caramelize. This will give them a delicious flavor.
- Add the raisins and cook until softened: Raisins add a sweet and chewy texture to the collard greens. Cook them until they are softened, but not mushy.
- Season the collard greens with salt and pepper: Salt and pepper are essential seasonings for collard greens. Add them to taste.
- Serve the collard greens immediately: Collard greens are best served immediately after they are cooked. They can be served as a side dish or as a main course.
Conclusion:
Sautéed collard greens with raisins is a delicious and nutritious dish that is easy to make. This recipe is a great way to enjoy collard greens, and it is sure to become a family favorite.
