Collards

Preparation, Uses, & Tips

Clean collard leaves thoroughly before cooking by dunking each leaf into a bowl of fresh water several times. Then rinse under running water. The stalks are generally too tough to eat, so leaves should be stripped from the stalks and torn into small pieces before cooking. Steaming is not the best way to cook collards because it gives them a somewhat tough texture.

Serve collards with beans�especially black-eyed peas for a very traditional southern meal�or add them to soups and stews. Good seasonings for collards include garlic, fresh ginger, dill, parsley, hot sauce, cinnamon, hot peppers, vinegar, and curry.

To boil or simmer

Traditionally, collards are cooked with bacon or salt pork, although health-conscious cooks have developed many new recipes that are lower in saturated fat. Collards are often simmered for several hours, which produces a very tender vegetable. For faster preparation, they can be boiled in water or broth for 15 to 30 minutes, which yields a slightly firmer texture.

To saut�

Simmer collards first in a small amount of water for 10 minutes. Then drain them and saut� in olive oil with herbs or spices until tender, about 10 minutes. In parts of Africa, collards are often cooked with hot peppers and other spices.

To microwave

Place the collards, with just the water clinging to the leaves, in a covered dish. Cook on high until tender, about 7 to 10 minutes. Stir after about 4 minutes. Let stand, covered, for about 2 minutes before serving.
