cooking help: collard greens

[Deleted]

I'm getting collard greens in my next box. I've never made them before. I was planning on doing it with some grilled chicken.

Any tried and true recipes? Thanks!

The same way I make most my dark leafy green vegetables. Light oil in my wok, throw in some garlic, cook a bit, throw in the chopped stems first, then leaves. Make sure the veggies are still a little wet from washing. A little salt.

i only like them when my MIL makes them. she puts in a hamhock, the greens and some spices and lets simmer. bomb.

We treat dark leafies the same way as Jennlin, except we dice up a bunch of onions and get them good and translucent, then add in garlic and greens. Also like to use flavored olive oil and add a dash of vinegar. Make sure the greens are a little damp from washing. We often add maybe a tbl of water, then cover for about 8 minutes, stirring once, then uncover and season with salt & pepper.
