SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS WITH GARLIC



Sauteed Collard Greens with Garlic image

Collard greens are normally associated with a long, slow cooking time, but this method requires only 10 minutes of steaming. Sauteing the leaves with garlic first balances the vegetable's bitterness. Pull or cut out the thick stems, and wash the leaves well before using.
