Ingredients:

  • 2 bunches collard greens
  • 1 small onions or 1 medium onion
  • 4 -6 cloves garlic, chopped
  • pepper (optional)

Directions:

  1. Fill large bowl with cold tap water.
  2. Soak collard greens in water, take out, and then rinse.
  3. Do this several times until no dirt is at bottom of bowl after washing.
  4. Rip thick stem from center of greens (its OK if a little thin stem is left).
  5. I usually accomplish this by folding green in half with stem sticking straight up, and ripping down and towards me.
  6. Chop onions and fry over medium heat in a deep frying pan for a few minutes.
  7. In the meantime, chop or tear collard greens into pieces and its okay.
  8. If they're big pieces, as they will shrink.
  9. Add greens to onions, and then add chopped garlic (as desired) and salt (and pepper if desired) on top of them.
  10. Cover and reduce heat to low.
  11. Let steam a few minutes.
  12. Check frequently and stir.
  13. The key to good collard greens is to not undercook them!!!
  14. Stir frequently and cover between stirrings.
