Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 to 3 pounds collard greens
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons oyster sauce, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. .Wash the collard greens and trim the hard ends off. Cut the leaves into small pieces, approximately 2 inches by 2 inches. 2.Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside. 3.Bring a pot of water to boil. Working in 2 or 3 batches, blanch the greens for 1 minute (begin counting after the water returns to a boil.) Immediately transfer the greens to the ice water to cool. Drain well, then squeeze out the excess water with your hands. Spread the greens on kitchen towels and pat them dry, as the excess water will cause the oil in the wok to spit. Repeat with the remaining batch(es). 4.Heat a wok over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the garlic and stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the greens and stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in the oyster sauce mixture, sugar, and optional red pepper flakes. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the greens to cook for another 3 to 4minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the greens to a plate and serve.

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds fresh collard greens
3 tablespoons pure olive oil
1 medium-size onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Wash the collards thoroughly and bunch it together. Take each bunch, roll it tightly, and cut in crosswise into thin strips. Wash the strips and drain them thoroughly. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, then cook the onion and garlic, stirring them until they are lightly browned. Add the kale strips and cook, stirring for 5 minutes so that the greens are soft, but retain their bright green color. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, tender collard greens: Look for leaves that are dark green and free of blemishes or wilting.
  • Wash the collard greens thoroughly: Rinse the leaves under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
  • Remove the tough stems from the collard greens: Use a sharp knife to cut along the center vein of each leaf, then discard the stems.
  • Chop the collard greens into bite-sized pieces: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to stir-fry the collard greens: This will give them plenty of room to cook and prevent them from steaming.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat before adding the collard greens: This will help them sear and develop a nice color.
  • Stir-fry the collard greens until they are wilted and tender: This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  • Season the collard greens with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings: Taste the collard greens and adjust the seasonings as needed.
  • Serve the collard greens immediately: They are best enjoyed hot and fresh.
