Sautéed Shredded Collard Greens

Cuisine:Brazilian

Course:Side Dish

10m prep 3m 0s cook 13m ready

4 servings This preparation treats tough collard greens with a light hand rather than the usual long simmering. Since they are sliced thinly, the greens take on a wonderful texture in the short cooking time. In Brazil, this is a traditional accompaniment to Feijoada.

Ingredients

Servings:
  • 1 pound collard greens, well washed, tough stems and midribs removed
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
