I think the focus should definitely shift from kale to collard greens, which are tender and sweet. Collard greens are a pleasure to eat--unlike kale.

As a lover of both I have to disagree, but I will happily agree collard greens are the best for this kind of prep. To me kale is more of a sautéed kind of thing.

My wife grew kale for the first time this year. The difference between store bought and home grown is eye opening,truly delicious. Love collards also,both are great,especially the kale from your own garden.As for collards,I even use the ribs,they soften nicely and are quite flavorful.

I was so blown away by this guy's chicken piccata I'm determined to make this and everything else he makes going forward.

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!

I add a lot more ingredients to my collards in Kentucky, chix base, tobasco sauce, black pepper& freshly cracked), minced garlic, etc... the list goes on, they are delicious, must be as there are never any leftovers. Save the juice for cornbread dipping, cold glass of buttermilk, big chunk of raw onion, makes a small meal or big snack as we waste very little.

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 🙏🏾

this looks really good! can't wait to try it.

Good recipe Dan!

My go to recipe. I use uncured turkey bacon. I crisp it in the oven and add at the end. This time I added mustard greens from my garden and loved the peppery bite they give to the dish.

Dan is awesome..

...I usually do something similar with cabbage...but collard greens look good...

I use unsweetened apple juice in place of water. So, for us, 1 cup chicken stock + 1 cup unsweetened apple juice to cook 2lbs of greens.

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 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

@aidanwarren4980

Collards definitely hold up the best to a long cook time. Even after a nice long simmer (or 45 minutes in a pressure cooker) they have a satisfyingly meaty bite. You can also just chop them fine and sauté with spices and garlic, in which case they’re almost crunchy.

"Suh'-thuh-nuhz" always include the crunchy stems!

I make braised greens a lot. A mess o greens!! 😋

Dan is the best

Try pepper vinegar.

Kale sucks. It's just the trendy veg of the moment that's already on it's way out. Collard greens are classic and will never fall out of favor.

Your two pounds of greens and my two pounds of greens do not look the same. Mine has the weight on the package. Two pounds of greens is huge. The tiny amount of liquid in your recipe simmers right out for an actual two pounds. Had to add another cup of water and of chicken stock.
