Collards

[CAMSDADDY]

Do yall boil greens or steam them?
I have cooked them in a pot just boiling for hours and my wife has also put them in the instant pot.

Mom cooks them in the skillet with oil and sugar/stevia and damn of it isn’t the best thing ever lol, second best is stewed with peppers and black pepper corns

Have her try white pepper for a little more heat.

"Red Fish" in Cincinnati, 1998. Worst collards I ever ate. Some nitwit chef got the bright idea to do an oysters Rockefeller and swap al dente collards for the cooked spinach. Nasty as ****.

Glory and Margret Holmes canned are the worst I’ve tried. I don’t normally order them at a restaurant without either seeing the cook or asking her name.

Every time we go to Mrs. Wilkes’ in Savannah for lunch, I slip down the alley and check the kitchen to make sure it’s still staffed with older overweight black women.
Been eatin’ there when I can since 1966.

Well I took out the stems and then only tore them in larger pieces. I boiled ham hocks in chicken broth and an onion for a while. I then added greens a little along until they cooked down and fit in the pot. I added a little salt and pepper, a bouillon cube and a pinch of sugar and let them cook for a few hours. I have to say they were awesome. My son that doesn't like greens even enjoyed them. They will be even better after they sit a day or two.
