I've always thought (erroneously) that collards needed to be stewed to tenderize. This is a nice quick alternative way to make collards. Healthy and yum.
I add about 1/2 cup chicken stock when cooking to avoid burning the collards; sometimes the water on the washed leaves is insufficient.
This is delicious especially with a pat of butter added at the end. I suppose you can say that about most things.
Very good. I added a little water and covered the pan to keep the stems a bit softer.
