Collard Greens and Cabbage image

I got this recipe off of a soul food site called Chitterlings. I made this Friday night and these are the best collard greens I've ever eaten. I served with a big skillet of cornbread. Prep time is lengthy due to the cleaning and cutting of the greens. Cook time approximate. This makes a lot of greens!

salt, to taste
pepper, to taste
crushed red pepper flakes, to taste

4 bunches collard greens, cleaned and cut
1 head cabbage, cleaned and cut up

  • Boil for about an hour.
  • Add cleaned and cut collards to the pot, cover and cook until tender (45 minutes to an hour, less if you like them less cooked).
