Sauteed Collard Greens
- 2 bunches collard or kale greens, about 2 pounds
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, whole
- 2 quarts chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon vinegar
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- To prepare the greens: cut away the tough stalks and stems from the collards and discard any leaves that are bruised or yellow.
- Fill the sink with water and salt, the salt helps to remove any impurities.
- Wash the collards thoroughly to remove the grit, 2 or 3 times, until the water runs clear.
- Dry thoroughly.
- Stack up several leaves and roll up lengthwise in a bundle, cut them into 1-inch ribbons.
- Repeat until all the leaves are shredded.
- Heat a large deep skillet over medium flame and coat with the oil.
- Add the garlic and saute for 2 minutes to soften.
- Add the greens and toss well with the oil and garlic.
- Pour in the chicken broth and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour until the greens are wilted and tender; take care not to overcook.
