SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS WITH GARLIC, PEPPERS AND ONIONS

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 bunch collard greens
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 medium onion, sliced
1/2 red or green bell pepper, sliced
1 teaspoon minced garlic
Salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Remove and discard all but 1 inch of the collard stems. Cut the remaining stems out of the leaves, separating the leaves and stems. Cut the leaves into 2-inch squares. Slice the stems into thin slices.
  • Wash the leaves in a big basin of water. Leave the water in the basin or sink and use a strainer to dip the leaves out of the water. Don't wash the leaves inside a colander or pour the water off the container with the leaves inside; this would allow any sand to stay with the greens. Wash the stems separately in the same basin of water, using the same method as the leaves.
  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 2 tablespoons salt. Have a colander ready in the sink to drain the greens and a bowl of water with ice cubes in it to chill the greens.
  • Cook the stems for 1 minute. Add the leaves, and once they turn bright green, fish out a small leaf to taste it. The greens are done when they taste tender. You can't really tell whether the greens are done without tasting them.
  • Pour the cooked greens into the colander to drain. Once the hot water has drained off, carefully put the hot greens into the ice water. Once the greens feel cool to the touch, drain them in a colander again. Drain for about 10 to 15 minutes so that they are quite dry. (At this point, the greens may be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.)
  • Put the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Saute the onions gently in the oil. Raise the heat and add the peppers, and then the garlic. Add the blanched greens and saute until heated through. Season with salt and pepper.

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

8 cloves peeled garlic, thinly sliced
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 medium yellow onions, halved and sliced (3 to 4 cups)
1/8 teaspoon crushed red pepper
Kosher salt
18 cups torn greens, such as mustard, kale, chard, escarole, or a mix (about 3 large bunches)
Grated pecorino Romano or Parmesan

Steps:

  • Cook the garlic in olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes; take care that the garlic doesn't get too brown or it will be bitter. Using a slotted spoon, transfer the garlic chips to a paper towel. Add the onions and red pepper (add a little more if you like things spicy) to the skillet and cook, stirring, until light brown, about 10 minutes. When the onions are almost done, add the greens in batches and cook, uncovered, just until tender, about 2 minutes. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a serving dish. Top with the reserved garlic chips and garnish with cheese.
