The Best way to get rid of the bitterness is to boil them, pour that water off, and then boil them again until they are tender. After that, you fry them up in bacon grease! DELICIOUS!!
@msmarketing2011 When I say soul food seasonings, I am referring to a group of seasonings common to soul food cooking. They are: Lawry's Seasoning Salt, Black Pepper, Garlic Powder and Onion Powder typically. These seasonings are used quite commonly. If you use them when preparing soul food, you will win!
@PamelaHolmes (Part 1 of 2) - Not trying to be gross or anything but this is worth pointing out. Because greens are grown in the ground, they sometimes have bugs attached to the leaves. These bugs tend to be the same color as the leaves so it's hard for you to notice them but they are there. Washing them in plain water does not dislodge them so chances are these greens still have bugs on them! To prove my point, next time, take the greens off the stems like you just did but this time....
@PamelaHolmes (Part 2 of 2) -....take about ¼ cup of salt, pour it over the greens, soak them and then come back and look at the water. Chances areby the 2nd soaking you'll see bugs in the water because salt makes them let go. Do this with salt 2-3 times and on the last time rinse the greens well with plain water to get rid of the salt. That's definitely assures that your greens are clean.Just thought I’d share because that seems important.
I can't wait to try this recipe. My mom usually cooks it with turkey meat (wings), but I can't believe there's no meat in the recipe. How much of the soul food seasoning do you add? Do you also add vinegar?
I'm going to try this recipe. I can't believe there is no meat in the recipe. I like them with turkey wings. What are all the seasonings in the recipe and what quantity of each? Did you also put vinegar in with the greens?
I'm fairly new to collard greens, but I love them and thank you for this way to cook them. My mother always cooked turnip greens when I was a child, so I never ahd collard greens until recently. By the way you have a beautiful kitchen.
Hey Pam.. I luv luv luv your videos. I really like this video of the collard greens, but I have just one question. I heard that collard greens take a long time to cook because they are so tough. Is that true and if so how long would you recommend I cook them so they arent as tough... Thnks for any info you can give me.
@phansee27 First, thank you for watching. Collard Greens can take a long time to cook but the oil tends to soften them up in both traditional and stir fried methods. I recommend that you steam them after stir frying (place a tight fitting lid on the pan) with a little water (about a half cup for 2 bunches) until you reach your desired tenderness. They wont be mushy like boilded greens but they should still be very tender. (TIP: add a dash of vinegar from the pepper sauce to the water, YUM!)
Thank you for making this video. I'm making collard greens tonight and this is a big help. I was curious about deep frying the collard greens. I was wondering if it's possible to do it by one of those frying bowls with the strainer. I had them in once and I've been trying to replicate that recipe for a long time.
I just grew a lot of collard greens in my roof garden, and didn't know what to do with them! So good I found your amazing video, very helpful, and fun.
Hey what do you know , I'm in Georgia too, Atlanta as a matter of fact ( when's dinner ready? ) I used to renovate houses in my spare time. Those are nice counter tops.
Wow thanks for the video. I have never seen collards cooked like this and wii be cooking this way for now on. Plus all the nutrients and vitamins are still in there.
What seasonings did you use? What is the total cooking time? Did you chop up the stems? Thanks.

This is the first time I've seen banana peppers used with greens. Never thought of doing that. We always put them in our beans and cornbread.

2 bunches should feed 10 people as a side dish and you may have left overs. Let me know how they turn out!
PAMELAMHOLMES 2 years ago
Add less than a teaspoon when you add the water. The sugar is optional and is used to reduce the bitterness that some greens produce. Good Luck
PAMELAMHOLMES 2 years ago
How many people do you think two bunches would feed??
ItaliaxOx2311 2 years ago
2 bunches is enough for about 8 -10 healthy portions depending on the size of the bunches.
