The same way you'd cook spinach, maybe a bit longer.

Many collard green recipes will tell you to cook them for a very long time. Ignore that—just cut them up small and simmer them until they're tender in enough water to cover. Anoint them with some hot vinegar and serve with black eyed peas and corn bread.
I love collards myself and they're a very healthy food, with lots of anti-oxidants.
All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.
Don't forget the salt pork.

That sounds good. I don't like limp leaves and everything gets cooked in salt pork and ham hocks around here. That stuff is killing me.

This stuff really makes collards great, BTW. Just sprinkle them with the vinegar.

Yea...but what a way to go. If I lived where I could get soul food more often, I'd probably look like a house. I LOVE it!Originally Posted by KK4AMI

I grind up a couple of cups in my juicer every morning. I start the day off with a juice mixture of 4-5 vegetables.

Collard greens done right are nothing short of divine. The blacks seem to make them best. Must be REAL smoked ham hocks (not the shanks) to get the flavor, right amount of fat, and that gelatin that isn't in the shanks. Must also be a way of cooking the ham hocks long enough, then adding the greens after some time has passed.
