New Style Collard Greens

 

Have all the flavor of traditionally prepared collard greens, without all of

the fat that is normally added!

 

2 bunches (about 4 pounds) collard greens

6 cups water

2 teaspoons salt

1 or 2 dried red peppers or 1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne)

1 clove garlic, mashed

1/2 teaspoon sugar

1 tablespoon olive oil

 

Cut through the stems and yellow leaves from the collard greens and discard.

Gently rub the leaves with your fingers under running warm water. Cut the

greens into large pieces. Let the leaves soak in warm, salted water for 10

minutes. Rinse with cool water and drain in collander.

 

In a large pot, bring the water to a boil. Add the collard greens , s, salt,

red pepper, garlic, sugar, and olive oil. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer

over low heat for 1 1/2-2 hours, or until the greens are tender. Stir

occasionally and add hot water to cover the greens as needed.
