Cooking Collard Greens

[milledge5]

Dave I love the way u picked them greens super fast...im gonna try this method lol thanks

[kajira4master]

Can you cook them without using oil, butter or salt and still make them taste fantastic?

[jaybobed]

@kajira4master Yeah, but greens are so bitter you need some salt. At least some low sodium chicken broth. Let me know.

Thanks,

Dave

[kajira4master]

@jaybobed ok will try it with some low sodium chicken broth... thank you so very much :)

[netsurfer7]

Dave

[lauracopenhaver]

@jaybobed Your great, I have never made these before and I didn't know they were that good for you. Thanks again.

[gmizuno21]

damn i want some catfish nd collard greens now

[nancydrew5]

I tried cooking the greens this way and let me tell you, these were the best greens I ever had!! I won't go back to cooking greens the way I did previously. Thanks Dave for this recipe. I have shared your video with a lot of my friends.

[j4services]

Thank you for leaving the damn greens alone. when i say "alone" , I mean not adding tons of crap to it to make it taste like something else. greens, salt, pepper garlic, and onion. ham-hock or smoked turkey. good job buddy. btw i love that better than bouillon . its great i have been use'n it for a bout a year now. in everything lol

[nancydrew5]

This is a great way to enjoy collard greens. Great recipe thanks for sharing!! You are the world's greatest chef!

[calsweet]

you had me right up until the ham. oh well, cant pleae everyone i guess.

[MrPastnastification]

I always used to simmer my greens in a full pot of liquid for an hour...after trying it your way, I don't think I'm ever going back. Terrific recipe & method. Thanks a lot!

[MrPastnastification]

Great tip on that chicken stuff too, I usually just used water with chili paste for some zip. Hopefully I can find it around here.

[ultratec66]

WOW, awesome, LOVE IT!!!

[YV7812]

Dave, Thank you so much for showing us how to cook Collard Greens. It was my first time, and I gotta say that it turn out wonderful. Mmmm delicious. Me and my husband enjoyed them. Considering that we are not a family that eats greens much. Thank you. Also, I love watching your videos and you are a great teacher!

[jaybobed]

Well thats very cool! I am glad you like them! I love me some greens!

THanks,

Dave

[wreckanchor]

Dave: If you were going to use chicken broth from a can how much would you use? thanks

[jaybobed]

If I were to use a can? I would the whole can if it is around 12 oz?

Thanks,

Dave

[soccerstarr12]

nicely done dave! i always enjoy a nice plate of greens

[jaybobed]

Me Too!

THanks,

Dave

[LittleChef224]

What are Collard Greens? Are they like Spinach?

[jaybobed]

Yes they are like spinach only so much better tasting. I think so anyway. I will admit that they are an acquired taste!

THanks,

Dave

[CharlesChicknJackson]

[leefoll]

nummy

[leefoll]

Thanks Dave!

Your a good teacher. I now know how to fix southern greens.

[jaybobed]

Thanks Lee!

Dave

[hrtoflove]

Man, you sure do the art of cooking collards. Thanks for posting this video......I love any kind of greens and they are fantastic with hot cornbread.....love the potlikker, too!!!

[TheRealStarbuck]

MMmmmm mmmmmm...

Another winner. You rock Dave! Thanks for all that you do!

[jaybobed]

Thanks Starbuck, I love my greens!

Dave

[monilove6]

Hey Dave!

I LOVE this video! I have always wanted to know how to make southern greens. I have a quick question. I see that you use the "Better Than Bouillon" seasoning, but I was wondering if you have ever used chicken stock before? I saw it on the Food Network and I was thinking about using Emeril's natural chicken stock. Do you think the "Better Than Bouillon" will taste better than that? Thank you so much in advance for your help. I appreciate any advise you could give me. Have a great day!!

[jaybobed]

Hey! Thanks for the nice words!

Chicken Base is chicken stock. You can not buy chicken stock and it is too much of a pain to make all the time. I do make it sometimes, but not a lot. I dont know about Emerils natural chicken stock, but all other chicken broth/stock that is in a can or box is just Bouillon in water. The chicken base is real chicken stock that is cooked down and just needs to be added to water. It is great and easy!

THanks,

Dave

[monilove6]

Dave, thank you soooo much for your advice!! I really appreciate it!! You are very welcome for my nice words....you are awesome!! You deserve the best because you ARE the best!! Keep these wonderful videos coming!!!

[pr1nc355l1n]

hey dave thanks for the video. i finally can cook collard greens now. lol

[endlessrskies]

wut kind of onion do you prefer to use?  red, white, etc. sorry not much of a cook

[jaybobed]

Hey endlessrskies, I like the cheap onions. LOL I usually use the white or yellow onions. I preferr vadalia onions. I red onion for some things because they are sweet. I thye ad color in soups and stews.

Thanks,

Dave

[kdw4jc]

Dave, please do a video abt your organic gardening. We plant a small organic garden (lettuce in a planter + tomatoes, peppers, collard greens, etc. in the ground). But, my collard greens are full of holes each year(bugs love 'em!). I tried 2 years & then gave up & just buy them in the store. How do you deal with the pests?

[jaybobed]

Hey kdw4jc, Yeah the bugs are a pest. The collards are best in January. I usually plant in Sept and get two harvest out of them. So the cold keeps the pest away all except for the snails. I have to go out every morning and pull off the snails. I just mash the snells into the dirt. They are very small. I used to have a video of my garden here on youtube, but nobody watched it so I took it down?

Thanks,

Dave

[electricguitarplayr]

what about canned collard greens

[kdw4jc]

Dave, I am so glad to see someone REALLY wash greens. I mix turnip, mustard & collards & cook with a smoked turkey wing or ham & serve it with vinegar, hot sauce, sliced onions & tomato slices. Yu-um!

[jaybobed]

I like the mixed greens too. Lst year I grew a tender green that was like a mustard and turnip in one! It was wonderful. The lady told me that the seeds I bought were tender greens?

Dave

PS Hey What is your name?

[Imerica1]

Hey, Dave.. beautifully done. :) My video is nex. :D Your collards looked so good, I've never tried cooking them that way.

[jaybobed]

Hey Erica! I love me some collards.

THanks,

Dave

[Bacalao2929]

[jaybobed]

NO, thank you!

Dave

[sonebone7]

[jaybobed]

Dave

[marilynalva]

[kdw4jc]

[drmason1]

boy this musta been one of your first vidios i see you used a retired pressure cooker

[jaybobed]

Hey Daniel,

Yeah it was an old pressure cooker, that has since been put in the trash. LOL It was a great pot for lots of years.

Dave

[OfDaHeeZy84]

Yummy and keep up the good work mate

[jaybobed]

Thanks OFD!

Dave

[BlackStallion3188]

3,000 of the views on this vid are all black people

[angliakingof]

That's a not so smart comment

[oyairule]

I think all of your videos are great, but you could make them even better by putting a full list of ingredients on the side where it says "about this video" on the top right side. It makes it so we can get the information all in one place so we can spend more time making your great food, and less time searching. :)

[AntaresInScorpius]

i loves my collards.

[ukspankedyank]

Dave this was very inspiring. That and made me tear up a little, late Wife use to do collard greens and ham hocks..

[sh97]

SharolaidGhettoQueen: Collard greens are popular in the South. If you know nothing about that, don't leave an ignorant comment, TROLL!

[fatboy3939]

i wash my collard greens in the clothes washer. Got 4 big bundles in there right now.

[jaybobed]

LOL Well they ought to be clean!

[blackberryjuice1]

do you worry about goitrogens?

[jaybobed]

No? The enzymes required for production of goitrogens in the plant are destroyed by cooking. Goitrogens are also lost through leaching into cooking water.

[sh97]

You know, I've heard of ppl doing that, but I've never done it myself. My Uncle tells me he puts the leaves (whole and unstemmed) in the washer. He says he starts the washer on the rinse cycle and then he lets it spin em dry. LOL I thought he was crazy until now!

[bikersbabede]

I love watching as you know. Well done! I will be trying this recipe soone. I'll let you know how it turns out.

[PaganLiberty]

My grandma Helen from Miss. makes the best collards ever! But, having established that, your video is real helpful and authentic! Love your series!

[smoothcriminal102590]

What choo know bout collard greens boi? Thats black folk meal. Sike nah

[queenfee]

red, greed, purple, yellow, don't matter. Greens are the bomb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Go Dave!

[SpankRamen]

You've got me drooling, dude.

[RickyTomatoes]

In Portuguese, I think these are called "Couves".

Great vid, keep up the good work!

[jaybobed]

That sucks? It is also called chciken base or you can use cambells chiken broth.

Dave

[bailey1950]

I never seen ham in greens.. I can understand hamhocks but I never seen ham cubes...

Interesting....

[jaybobed]

Oh, the Ham makes it a meal! I use a ham bone sometimes or sometimes just a litle chicken broth.

Dave

[kattaratta]

Hi! I've been watching your cooking and I find myself smiling with delight all the time! I'm Swedish and I didn't recognise what that vegetable was so I looked it up. If anyone else is as ignorant as me I got some translations to collard greens:

Swedish - grönkål

German - Grünkohl

French - chou frisi

[lilvoyce]

Hahahahah.. I have the accent, but can't cook southern worth a lick. First time I tried, I did not scrub em, they about broke my hubs teeth. Second time, someone told me to wash em in the wash machine.. Hub had green socks and undies for the next month!

[jaybobed]

LOL Thats crazy!! I love the collards.

[marasmius]

Dave, I've never seen greens scrubbed so hard! Looks like you're scrubbin' a work shirt! :D Anyway, I've always wondered how to cook collard greens, and I'll give your recipe a try. I bet kale would be tasty cooked this way, too. Keep up the good work!

[jaybobed]

Hey, Thanks for the comment! Yeah, collards have to be washed thoroughly. They hold a lot of dirt. Kale is good this way too but, too bitter for my taste.

[anisophyllea]

hey dave, i cant understand half of what you say (you remind me of forrest gump!) but you are really cute :) love watching u cook :)

[vesselofgold]

Thanks 4 the tips. :)
