Categories     side-dish

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 large bunches collard greens
1 lime
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced or grated
1 garlic clove, minced or grated
2 teaspoons whole grain mustard
1 teaspoon chopped jalapeno
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar

Steps:

  • Remove the large center stems from the collard greens. Stack the leaves on top of each other and roll them as tightly as possible. Use a sharp chef's knife to slice the leaves as thinly as possible.
  • Use a vegetable peeler to remove three 1-by-2-inch strips of peel from the lime. Finely chop the peel.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large, wide pot over medium heat. Add the ginger, garlic, mustard, jalapeno and 1/2 teaspoon salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until very fragrant and the garlic is pale golden, about 3 minutes. Add the vinegar and simmer until almost completely reduced. Increase the heat to medium-high and add the collard greens. Cook, tossing with tongs, until just slightly wilted, about 3 minutes. Serve warm.

MAPLE COLLARD GREENS

This is my own recipe. This is what I think all collard greens should taste like. The fresher the collards used the more tender and quick cooking they'll be. If they are "elderly" as my great-grandmother would say, you will have to cook them longer as they will be tougher. Wonderful with BBQ tempeh, mac & cheese and corn bread.
