Ingredients

2 to 6 pounds of collard greens

Water

Oil

Salt

Directions

Rinse greens well, pick out any bad leaves and remove stems. From this point you can wilt your greens two ways. One, stuff a small pressure cooker with as many greens as you can fit and pour in 1 cup o fwater. Cook for 5 minutes. Let cool in a sink of cold water before opening. Be sure pressure cooker is completely cool before removing lid to avoid steam burns.

If you don`t have a pressure cooker you can use a pot on your stove top.

Fill pot with desired amouont of greens, pushing down to tightly pack. Add just enough water to barely cover greens. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Cook for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

After cooking your greens with your desired mithod drain well in a strainer. Heat about 4 tablespoons oil (you can use more or less depending on the amount of greens in the pan) in a large skillet over medium heat. Add greens to skillet and cook until heated thooroughly. Add salt to taste. Serve hot.

If desired you can add chopped bacon, sauteed onions and garlic, and other spices after greens are fried for more flavor and variety.

I did make this the other night using my pressure cooker and I think it could have used another 5 minutes or so. (I made collard greens)
