Go to most any farmers' or flea market around here, and you can bet there will be collards for sale. Give them a good washing, tear up the leaves and stir fry them in a skillet with a little oil oil and onions. Add a small amount of water and sugar, cover and let simmer til tender. Then, eat with a few shakes of pepper sauce. Good!

ReplyDeleteSee you this afternoon!!
One of my daughters favorites :)
ReplyDeleteYummy! I learned to appreciate collard greens at the Ethiopian restaurants in DC. Onions, garlic, berbere spice mix (cumin, cardamom, allspice, fenugreek, coriander, cloves, peppercorns, red pepper flakes, turmeric, gingerroot, paprika, cinnamon). So good!
ReplyDeleteI havent had those in years, with ham like Kathleen said, good stuff.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathleen, I forgot to include ham in the seasoning...the best!
ReplyDeleteZ, all those spices go in one mess of collard greens? I might have to start a better spice collection and try it out.
I love most all greens but I can't get past the smell of those collards to eat them.
ReplyDeleteI'm really picky - thank you for the instructions, but I think I'll pass.
ReplyDeleteYum! I'm hungry now!!!!
ReplyDeleteYummy! Collard greens are just soooo good!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I've ever had collards. Spinach, silverbeet, bok choi, broccoli of course. The recipes above sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteThe simplist recipes seem to be the best.
