WHERE TO BUY FRESH COLLARD GREENS RECIPES

Steps:

• Chop your greens into 1 inch strips that are no longer than 4 or 5 inches long (or you'll be getting a mouthful of stringy greens!). (I like to cut down the middle of the leaf and then put one half on top of the other and chop into strips).
• Rinse your greens (This is an important step! The water that stays on helps these cook to perfection).
• Heat your skillet to medium and spray or add oil, and garlic if wanted. Then just add your greens (these will shrink down a lot so you can do it in a small pan) and stir just until all greens have just turned bright green, usually not more than 3~ minutes.
• Turn up to medium-hot and fry for 30 more seconds or until greens are just tender.
• Toss with salt and pepper to taste (for this amount I usually use about 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper). Serve with your favorite entree :)!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Trim the stems off of the collardg greens and cut the leaves into thin ribbons about 1/4-inch thick.
• When the water boils, add the greens and bring to a simmer. Cover most of the way and simmer for 1 hour and up to 2 hours, until the greens are very tender.
• Drain the greens and let them dry for 10 minutes in the colander.
• Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Add the collards and cook for 5 to 10 minutes, until crisp on the edges. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
