Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 large bunches collard greens, ribs removed, cut into a chiffonade, rinsed and drained
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
2/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup freshly squeezed orange juice

Steps:

  • In a large pot over high heat, bring 3 quarts of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon salt. Add the collards and cook, uncovered, for 8 to 10 minutes, until softened. Meanwhile, prepare a large bowl of ice water to cool the collards.
  • Remove the collards from the heat, drain, and plunge them into the bowl of cold water to stop cooking and set the color of the greens. Drain by gently pressing the greens against a colander.
  • In a medium-size sauté pan, combine the olive oil and the garlic and raise the heat to medium. Sauté for 1 minute. Add the collards, raisins, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add orange juice and cook for an additional 15 seconds. Do not overcook (collards should be bright green). Season with additional salt to taste if needed and serve immediately. (This also makes a tasty filling for quesadillas.)

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my dish turned out really bitter. I think I might have used too much lemon juice.

This dish is a great way to use up leftover collards. I usually have some leftover after making collard greens, and this is a great way to repurpose them.

I'm not a big fan of collards, but this recipe was actually pretty good. The raisins helped to balance out the bitterness of the greens.
