DevoHusker Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I had not tried collard greens until only a couple years ago...they are amazing, and I eat them regularly now. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment
admo Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 Thanks I prefer them not as tender and wilted. I have always boiled them for 10 minutes first, then drained, then into the saute mixture (olive oil, garlic, onions - bacon optional). It's a much vibrant green and slightly crisp. The saute flavor really comes out that way. It's delicious. I will try out your recipe though. 1 Quote Link to comment
