Provided by Cookie and Kate

Categories     Side dish

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 large bunch (about 10 ounces) collard greens
1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
2 medium cloves garlic, pressed or minced
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional, scale back or omit if sensitive to spice)
A couple lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • To prepare the collards: Cut out the thick center rib out of each collard green. Stack the rib-less greens and roll them up into a cigar-like shape. Slice over the "cigar" as thinly as possible (⅛″ to ¼″) to make long strands. Shake up the greens and give them a few chops so the strands aren't so long.
  • Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat, then add the olive oil. Once the oil is shimmering, add all of the collard greens and the salt.
  • Stir until all of the greens are lightly coated in oil, then let them cook for about 30 seconds before stirring again. Continue stirring in 30-second intervals until the greens are wilted, dark green, and some are starting to turn browns on the edges (this is delicious). This will take between 3 to 6 minutes.
  • Once the collards are just about done, add the garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to break up the garlic and cook until it's fragrant, about 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat.
  • Immediately divide the cooked collards onto plates, and serve with a lemon wedge each.

BEST COLLARD GREENS EVER!



Best Collard Greens Ever! image

I wrote down this recipe from a Chef on television. I made my own slight changes. I have made this dozens of times and we lick the plate! I never liked collards until I discovered this recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as we do :-)

Provided by Cook-E Monster

Categories     Collard Greens

Time 3h20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 lb smoked meat (ham hocks, smoked turkey wings, or smoked neck bones)
1 tablespoon seasoning salt
1 tablespoon hot red pepper sauce
2 bunches collard greens
1 tablespoon butter
white vinegar
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Steps:

  • In a large pot, bring 3-4 quarts of water to a boil and add smoked meat, house seasoning, seasoned salt and hot sauce. Reduce heat to medium and cook for at least 1 hour.
  • Step 2:.
  • Wash the collard greens thoroughly. Remove the stems that run down the center by holding the leaf in your left hand and stripping the leaf down with your right hand. The tender young leaves in the heart of the collards don't need to be stripped. Stack 6 to 8 leaves on top of one another, roll up, and slice into 1/2 to 1-ince thick slices. Place greens in pot with meat and add butter. Cook for an hour to two hours.stirring occasionally, I have found the longer you cook it the better it is! When done taste and adjust seasoning.
  • When I eat my collards I enjoy pouring some white vinegar over them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

How to make the best Southern Collard Greens! Full of flavorful ingredients and easy to make

Provided by divas can cook

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetable

Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup white distilled vinegar
3 tablespoons salt
2 bunches fresh collard greens ( (see note))
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
½ cup finely diced onions
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
4-5 cups chicken broth ((can replace 1 cup with water if desired))
1 fully-cooked smoked turkey leg or wing ((about 13 oz))
1 tablespoon white distilled vinegar
Applewood smoked salt & black pepper, to season

Steps:

  • Prepare the collard greens bath by filling your kitchen sink with cool water and adding vinegar and salt.
  • Remove the collard greens from the steams by folding them in half lengthwise and pulling the leaf away from the stem. (discard the stem or see note below on how to cook them)
  • Place the collard greens into the prepared water bath and swish them around several times, scrubbing them to help loosen up any dirt.
  • Let the collard greens soak for 15-20 minutes, giving them a scrub midway. Drain the water and refill with plain water and allow the greens to soak again if needed. Repeat as many times as needed until the water is free from any dirt or grit. After the final soak, drain the water. Next, rinse and scrub each leaf front and back with cool water to ensure they are squeaky clean.
  • Tear the greens into bite-sized pieces and set them aside.
  • In a large pot, heat olive oil. Add onions and saute until tender.
  • Add garlic and red pepper flakes and cook until garlic is fragrant.
  • Pour in the broth and add the turkey leg. Bring to a boil.
  • Add collard greens and reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Cover and cook collard for 1 hour (or longer depending on your desired tenderness), stirring regularly.
  • Once done, stir and then taste the broth and the greens. (add a little water if the broth is too bold for your liking)
  • Stir in vinegar and smoked salt, and black pepper if desired.
  • Serve collard greens with pieces of the smoked turkey leg and hot sauce if desired.

Time 35m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 large bunches collard greens
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, sliced
2 garlic cloves, smashed
2 bay leaves
1 smoked ham hock
2 quarts chicken broth, warm
2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
