It can be hard to make healthy and scrumptious sides during a busy week. What if I told you that in 10 minutes you can make collard greens that will become a staple in your household? I know I was surprised too! I am not a fan of traditional collards but this recipe provides a crispy and complex approach to adding flavor to the collards without cooking them to death!
The key to the recipe is pan frying the collards to get the to break down just enough to be palatable but not so much that they lose all texture and flavor. You can also try some riffs on this recipe to make it your own! Try:
- Bacon or Pancetta
- Pine Nuts, Walnuts or Brazil Nuts
- Try Kale or Swiss Chard instead of Collards
