2 large bunches of collard greens, de-stemmed + chopped into bite-size pieces
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 Tbsp organic butter
1 Tbsp olive oil
sea salt + black pepper to taste
Instructions
Bring large pot of water to a boil. To prepare collard greens remove the center "ribs" and discard. With remaining leaves, cut into size-size pieces. Add collard green leaves to boiling water and let cook for 10-15 minutes until slightly tender. Drain liquid and squeeze any remaining liquid from leaves. [if leaves are full of water, the oil + butter will splatter when collard greens are added to sauté pan]. Heat large sauté pan on medium heat. Add butter and oil and heat until butter is melted. Add minced garlic and collard greens. Sauté for 5-8 minutes until garlic is cooked and fragrant and collard greens are tender. Remove from heat and serve.
serving suggestion: pair these collard greens alongside Blackened Salmon or Dutch Oven Chicken.
