Steps:
- 1. Wash the collard greens well. Remove the largest stems, then gather bunches of the leaves together and roll them up into a bundle. Thinly slice the bundles crosswise, cutting the leaves into very thin strips.
- 2. Finely chop the garlic. (or to be really traditional, mash the garlic with the kosher salt with a mortar and pestle)
- 3. Heat the olive oil in a heavy skillet (cast iron works well) or wok over medium heat. Add the garlic and salt, and cook, stirring, until the garlic is just golden and fragrant.

- 5. Season greens with more salt and pepper to taste, and serve warm.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning, or maybe some fresh herbs. The collard greens were also a bit tough. I would recommend cooking them for a longer period of time.

[email protected]This recipe was a bit too garlicky for my taste, but other than that, it was very good. The collard greens were tender and flavorful, and the bacon added a nice touch of smokiness. I would recommend using less garlic next time.
