The Test Kitchen: How to Cook Collard Greens Quickly - Gourmet Magazine

[dondappa85]

not a bad idea at all.

We use a pressure cooker and is fast also. Oil or grease cooking is not good for you. Get your oils naturally its better.

What would collard greens be called in other countries? It looks something like cabbage leaves. Is it some kind of cabbage?

[17thwonder]

looks like spinach

[yujuchien]

very helpful, thanks a lot!

[auggiedoggy]

This is great! I've added more greens like kale, chard, collard and spinach to my diet so I welcome these recipes.

[MEpianist]

even more time saved: just yank the rib out.

[adnice2000]

[mumbleora]

Nope, this way ain't gonna get it. Don't even leave pot liquor.

@shesau1, I was just getting ready to say the same thing...Greens are always full of dirt and grit and usually bugs are attached to them people!!! You ALWAYS have to wash them THOROUGHLY to rid them of any debris. That's some good eatin' if you prepare them properly...who wants to eat grit, dirt and bugs?!? YUCK!!!

[CheezInspector]

Only thing is, these taste far better with more flavor a la chicken broth and/or either a little ham or smoked turkey added. Pepper also adds a little kick (I'm Caribbean and love the spices they use for their collards ... it all originates from Africa ;)

[morphineangel2005]

I love these everytime I make them

[astrology4u]

This method of cutting the greens and cooking the greens is actually originated in Africa. They don't just cook and cut their collard greens this way, they actually do this method to all of their greens, even spinach.

[TheSasha555]

@astrology4u Child please.

[meatlman99]

@astrology4u Correct. A lot of Africa in Brazil due to the slave trade (Maafa)

[Yelothndr]

This dish is called Couve Minera. I learned how to do this years ago. I love boiled collards as well, but this is so different and so FAST!!!

[shesau1]

She did not mention, that you have to wash your greens as many times as it takes to get all dirt, and grit off. Once in a while you may even find a bug or two hidden in the greens. WASH YOUR GREENS

Thanks for making an informative video. The other videos on cooking collard greens were much longer and some had weird off topic stuff. This is a great method and the results look yum. I'm going to try this on my next batch.

[googo151]

This is too weird. Last night I was on the check out line of my super market, with a bunch of collards, when this Brazilian girl (young gorgeous gal), told me this exact same recipe. She said to cut them into strips just like this. Wow! I love it, she was telling me about it and I should've listened to her and done this recipe.

[giannisacco]

Interesting method of preparing them. Thanks.

The cook who's new to these greens would be well advised to wash them diligently beforehand. Three changes of water is not unheard of, as they're grown in sandy soil and just get dirtier during transport.

[happytheclown37]

thank you so much for this!!! i never realized that collard greens could be so quick, easy and delicious to cook - this is how i prepare mine all the time. i no longer have to be afraid :D
