    Source of Recipe


    Source: Greens Glorious Greens


    List of Ingredients


    • 3/4 pound collard greens (6 to7 cups, chopped)
    • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
    • 3 onions, sliced into thin crescents
    • 3 cloves garlic, minced
    • salt to taste


    Instructions


    1. Wash collards, remove stalks and stack 4 to 5 leaves. Slice into strips, approximately 1/4 inches wide. Set aside.

    2. In a large skillet or cast-iron pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and saute for 15-20 minutes, until golden and sweet. Take care not to burn. Add garlic and saute for another 2 to 3 minutes, until golden.
    3. While onions are cooking, bring 2 to 3 cups of water to a boil in a 10- to 12-inch skillet with a lid. Add collards, cover and cook
      over high heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. The greens are cooked when they are tender but still bright green. Drain in a colander and set aside.
    4. Add greens to onions and galic. Season with salt to taste and cook for another 1 to 2 minutes to heat through. Serve hot, drizzled with additional olive oil if you dare.
    5. Variation: Add 2 tablespoons raisins for the last 3 minutes of cooking.
    6. Serves 2 to 3
