Lovely! I used spring greens instead of collard greens. The shallots and garlic give the greens a lovely, delicate flavour. Thanks cookiedog!

This was simple and delicious! I mixed in some beet greens with the collards, and used only olive oil. It was superb with chicken and brown rice. I will remember to come back to this recipe whenever I have a batch of greens to cook. Made for ZWT4. Thanks, Cookiedog!

This was quiet an experience for me! As a Southerner, this was a revelation. I'd never heard of sauteeing the greens..and only cooking them for 15 minutes? I thought they'd be very bitter. I ended up cooking them for about 20 and they had a much prettier color than I am used to and tasted wonderful, although I did miss having pot liquor. In the American South, we cook them in water or other liquid and consider the resulting "pot liquor" to be just as important as the greens. This is why I love ZWT. You learn new things about foods you'd never think could surprise you. Thanks for sharing!

Here in the Caribbean we don't have collard greens so I substituted some local greens called bhagi. Added 1/4 finely chopped scotch bonnet pepper for a slight heat. Very nice side dish.
