Help with my collard greens

The market is having a sale on collard greens and im itching for fresh ones so i was wondering whats the best way to give them a better taste (when you boil them) besides adding bacon grease. Any ideas?

yeah im an ass, i meant to post this some where else sorry.


Although collards are vegetables so i guess it is in the right place.

 

Don't boil them! Saute them in a pan with garlic and maybe onions (using olive oil). Add salt and pepper, and some lemon juice. Maybe a little bit of cayenne pepper. Good to go.

 

Thank you darling. I didn't think of that. Sounds delicious.

 

Here is what I would do, boil them, them puree them and use as a gravy for stir friend tofu or veggies.

 

ok I really have to ask this, what the heck are collard greens. I know its some sort of southern US plant

 

Collard greens are a leafy plant that doesn't form a head. They're in the same family as mustard greens,kale,etc.

What I do,is boil them..then I fry them in vegetable oil.

 

closest thing I eat to that is swiss chard and beet tops, I usually just boil em down, drain them , then add some butter and salt and pepper and dig in.

 

i always saute' my greens in light virgin olive oil and then just add lemon juice for flavor, they are so good that way
