Yankee Collards

Ingredients

• 1 lb frozen chopped collard greens
• 1 garlic clove, finely minced
• 1 small onion, chopped (optional)
• 1-2 tablespoon olive oil
• balsamic vinegar
• parmesan cheese, grated

Directions

1. 1

   Heat olive oil gently in a large, heavy skillet (I use the cast iron chicken fryer).

2. 2

   Saute the collards, onions, and garlic slowly and gently in the olive oil. Give it plenty of time since collards are tough if not slow-cooked -- letting them stew in their own juices until tender.

3. 3

   Serve with Basalmic vinegar and parmesan.

4. 4

   Tip -- add cooked chicken or cooked pork and serve with Italian bread or cornbread to make a complete meal.
