Will’s Collard Greens (Will Allen, Growing Power)

by Market Manager

Ingredients
1 bunch collard greens, stems cut out and discarded
¼ cup olive oil
½ teaspoon of salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon minced garlic (optional)

Directions:
Wash the collard leaves and stack them (5-10 leaves at a time). Roll them up tightly, then slice thinly so you have a chiffonade of greens. Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat with salt, pepper, sugar, and garlic. When the oil is hot, add collards and stir often for 15-20 minutes, until collards are tender, taking care not to burn the greens. Add more oil if necessary. Makes 4 servings.
