My Fave Collard Greens Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Wash collards thoroughly. Place large pot of water on stove, bring to a boil, salt water. While water is waiting to boil, cut collards into 1-in pieces (crosswise), discarding extra stalk. The stalk is edible, but unless there are small leafs attached to it, there is no need to eat it.
  • Boil collards in rapidly boiling water for 15 minutes, or until tender.
  • Melt butter in saucepan, then add oil or grease. Add collards and about 1 Tbs salt and fresh black pepper. Stir well and add garlic. Stir again and saute about 5 minutes. I also like to add a pinch of white pepper just before they are done.
  • Remove greens, season again if necessary, then drizzle lemon lightly over greens. Serve with a good steak, mac and cheese, or eat alone! Greens like this are soft, only slightly bitter, and really can go with almost anything.
