Ingredients

  • Organic collard greens
  • Frying pan
  • Coconut oil

Instructions

  1. Put approx. 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a frying pan.
  2. Wash collard greens. You buy them in a bunch, I'll cook about one bunch per person.
  3. Cut the collard greens up into about 1-inch segments. Nothing fancy. Don't cook the bottom stem part.
  4. Turn the frying pan on medium-high.
  5. Put the collard greens in the pan, if they spit at you, turn it down slightly and put a splatter guard on. Splatter guards are great because you can cook at higher temperatures without being attacked by spitting oil.
  6. Stir approximately every 2 minutes until they look darker (approx. 5 minutes)
  7. Turn down to medium-low or low and let them cook for another 5 or 6 minutes until they're soft. The ones that look kind of see-through were cooked at a higher heat and are crispy. They're less bitter.
  8. Eat. Usually, this is a side. Cook some meat too!
