This is like a single portion of collards!
Nice recipe, not overly complicated, also I love the bacon option; which I always have, I’m not trying to go buy a big ham hock or anything like that. Thanks 🙏🏾
My question is how do collards rate in nutrition compared to kale and spinach? …also…Apple cider vinegar is so wonderful on all cooked “greens”! And I’ve found the stem cooks up soft and tasty enough to leave a good portion of it on.
I saute the stems, chopped, with my onions.
"Suh'-thuh-nuhz" always include the crunchy stems!
I always hated collard greens growing up but now I’m open to trying these again.
Wait… does she add bacon grease or collard greens to her morning smoothies?
I was so blown away by this guy's chicken piccata I'm determined to make this and everything else he makes going forward.
Cannot wait to try this tonight for dinner, along with an antipasto-style bean salad. Nothing better than collards and black eyed peas. Thank you for the wonderful recipe! I could almost smell them through the screen.
Eighth of a teaspoon of Red pepper flakes! Dan you danst!
Hate kale. Collards rule!
I make braised greens a lot. A mess o greens!! 😋
You mentioned kale so much at the beginning I started to shut the video down. The kale propaganda machine is irritating because kale taste awful. Glad I continue to watch because I love collard greens. Although sometimes I buy them and they are really harsh. Almost a metallic taste.
Smoked turkey necks or ham hocks for me for the meat seasoning. I cut mine smaller, and include the ribs cut fine. More liquid, please, as I love the pot liquor!
Kale is not food!
the recipe is hidden, please post it here
What? Collard Greens instead of kale?
Have you lost your mind?
Seriously, kale won't enter my house.
Collards, a few times a week.

When I first read this title in my feed I thought we'd finally decided to do something about the far left greens. Then I realised it was a cooking channel and fell back into reality.
I have never tried Collards or any of the other "greens" because they just looked, bland, gross and/or mushy. I may have to give this recipe a try.
Where’s the pot likker (liquor)? And the Trappey’s? Cornbread? Mac ‘n cheese?
Try pepper vinegar.
Yum!
…I usually do something similar with cabbage…but collard greens look good…
I have been on the record for years I’ve seen I hate cooked greens. I will eat spinach, kale, and others raw or cooked into a dish but not cooked in a pot. I think that’s because growing up the rule was that you cooked greens until they were puréed in the pot. I think I’m gonna have to cook me some collards. Those look good
Collards from new england….this is half a recipe….no heat? Few pinches of sugar….
I've always cooked collards with smoked ham hocks.
