THE RIGHT WAY TO COOK GREENS!



The RIGHT WAY To Cook Greens! image

There's a short way and a long way, so no excuses will be accepted for tough, bitter greens!

Provided by rjkuns

Categories     Side Dish     Vegetables     Greens

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 4

¼ cup bacon drippings
4 bunches collard greens, tough stems removed
salt to taste
3 cups water

Steps:

  • Heat bacon drippings in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the greens. Stir-fry, I suppose, since you are stirring and frying, for 1 to 4 minutes (depends on how tough the greens are) or until greens are limp, tender, and have greatly reduced in size. Pork fat is good because it helps cover the bitterness of greens while bringing out their great flavor.
  • At this point, you have a choice. Either serve them straight from the pan with a sprinkling of salt, or add 3 to 4 cups of water and salt to taste, and boil the greens 1 hour for extra tender, probably-won't-even-have-to-chew greens. If you don't have teeth, clearly you see which way to go here.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 bunches collard greens
2 bunches mustard greens
2 bunches turnip greens
3 tablespoons salt

From myrecipes.com
Servings 6-8
  • To Clean: Discard any wilted or yellowed leaves and pulpy stems. Washing is the most important part of preparing any greens. Fill both bowls of double sink (or sink and a large pan) with lukewarm water. Wash greens by plunging up and down in one sink; then lift greens out of the water and into the other container of water. Repeat procedure, rinsing sink or pan between washings, until no trace of sand remains in final rinse water.
  • Note: Greens are not well washed unless lifted out of the water. Simply pulling the plug in the sink or pouring the water from the pan without first removing the greens will not rinse away the sand.
  • To Simmer: Place greens in a Dutch oven; add salt pork, water, and salt. Cook over low heat until steam begins to form. Cover; reduce heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, 1 1/2 hours or until greens are tender. Add water, if needed.
  • Serving Suggestions: Fresh greens may be served with any of the following: Basil Vinegar, Chive Blossom Vinegar, Mason County Relish, Oil and Lemon Sauce, or Hot Pepper Sauce.
