COLLARD GREENS IN PRESSURE COOKER RECIPES

Steps:

• In a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium.
• Add the onions and celery with the salt and cook until the onions are translucent and browned along the edges, 10 to 14 minutes.
• Add the garlic and saute for another minute, just until fragrant.
• Pour in the stock and add the ham bone, ham, black eyed peas increase the heat back to medium-high, and bring to a boil.
• Stir in the cabbage, collard greens, black pepper, and (if using) cayenne pepper.
• Turn the heat to medium, and cook, uncovered, until the greens cook down a bit and start to become tender, 15 minutes or so.
• Partially cover, reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook 25 minutes, allowing the greens to cook down further and the stew to come together.
• Remove the bone.

Steps:

• Remove the dirt from the collard greens by filling your sink with cold water and soaking them for a 1/2 hour.
• While the greens are soaking, put the chicken broth, oil, tomato puree, onion, garlic, and vinegar into the bottom of the pressure cooker and stir to combine the ingreedients.
• Remove the greens from the sink one at a time, disturbing the water as little as possible. The dirt will remain on the bottom and the greens will float to the top.
• Remove the thickest parts of the stems at the base of the greens and chop the stems nto small pieces. Then, place the greens on top of one another and roll them into cigar-shaped bundles. Cut the greens into one or two inch wide pieces.
• Toss the greens and stems with the sugar and salt. Then, add them to the pot and toss to coat with the oil mixture.
• Pressure cook for about 20 minutes.
