Yankee Collards

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.
3. 3
   Give it plenty of time since collards are tough if not slow-cooked -- letting them stew in their own juices until tender.
4. 4
   Serve with balsamic vinegar and parmesan.
5. 5
   Tip -- add cooked chicken or cooked pork and serve with Italian bread or cornbread to make a complete meal.
