As if roasted turnip chips weren't enough of an adventure I also decided to cook up the collard greens yesterday. This is a new vegetable for our family so I thought I'd keep it simple.
The leaves were HUGE and fresh.
I selected a recipe that I found here called Garlicky Collard Greens. I prefer to call it Garlic Collard Greens however.
Garlic Collard Greens
Ingredients
- 1 pound of collard greens (1 bunch)
- 2-3 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 to 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
Directions
- Wash the collard greens. Take a leaf and remove the thick part of the stem. Roll up the leaf and thinly slice crosswise to make strips.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and salt and cook stirring until the garlic is just golden and fragrant.
- Add the greens and saute 3 to 4 minutes until they are bright green in color and beginning to soften.
- Add more salt or pepper as needed and serve warm.
The collard greens were such a vibrant green color. I was surprised that they cooked down much like spinach. The long thin strips were easy to twirl around my fork to eat. Once again the 4 year old had a bit of a hard time eating them, but my husband and I thought they were good. This is a recipe I would make again. Doesn't it look delicious?
