Bro, I'm Canadian, and you're the first video I've seen hot to make this. Your tutorial made my mouth water just now. Hell yeah man👊🏻

[TheDavey]

Thank you so much. Until this I never knew the "proper" way to make these. Now thanks to you I do! I am trying this tomorrow!

[latonyaroberts]

I keep my stems and chop them up small…I was told that’s where all the nutrients are

[CookingwithManualFocus]

Yo I never get tired of those greens! Happy holidays bro!

It’s September and I’m craving some would

Everyone has a recipe got cooking greens. Just don’t dump in a pot of water and bring to a boil😂. I cook my smoked turkey parts in a crockpot, with onions garlic chicken broth and brown sugar. No vinegar for 2 hrs and then add greens. Never have any left. Cook greens for another hr on high or until tender. Mouth watering. Holidays in a black family, isn’t the same without some greens any kind and cornbread. Teach the kids to cook them it’s totally traditional. 💯‼️♥️

[aliciasierra]

Its the peppers for me! Lol making some greens with turkey wings Sunday🤗

[joannkelly]

Wow. Thank you, again, for sharing, Stay blessed,

They’re totally good for you just gotta know how to cook them. Mustard turnips kale cabbage, are all good for you. You can add turnip roots to turnips and mustard. I’ve cooked collards with rutabagas and mixed collards and cabbage. Just got to learn to cook them and your family will thank you for it.

I like searing the turkey necks or tails with the onions. Remove the meat, then add the stock. Add the meat back in and slow cook until falling off the bone. Remove meat and pick tge bones clean. Add the stock to the greens and then the meat back in. This ensures no bones in the greens.

This is the first collards recipe that I want to try for myself. Looks great. I eat them any time I can find them!!

I do mine a bit differently. To start, I don't use collards until they've had a good frost on em, they need the cold, it makes the plant change some of the starches in it into sugars, gives a better taste. Sounds weird, but it's real.

Taking the central stem out is good, they're bitter, but you can go further and take out the biggest branches from that stem too. I usually will just go through and pull the good bits out from in between all the stems, it's a lot of work but makes a big difference in the end product getting all that bitter out of it. With that done, you don't need so many dried up seasonings dumped in there to try to cover up the bitterness you already removed. Bouillon is good, have mostly used cubes in the past but I have used better than bouillon for a few things and had good results as well. Throw in some bacon grease, a ham hock or whatever meaty goodness you want really, turkey leg should be good too. If you want more salt maybe throw some fatback in there. Cornbread is a must as you said, around new years we usually pair it with some black eyed peas too.

Side note about your cornbread: if you've never tried it, make you some one day with some actual corn thrown into the batter before it goes into the oven. Don't need anything fancy, just some store bought can corn or mexicorn or whatever is fine. Can mix it in, or spread it on top. See what you think, maybe youll want to include it the next time you're cooking for a crowd.

Looks deliciously good HALLELUJAH AND AMEN

I wasn't taught to clean my greens like that. The chopping ans then washing the greens is what my grandmother called bleeding the greens.

What my grandmother did was soak the whole green in vinegar or salt water. It helps soften the greens and loosens any residue on them. Then she wiped off until they were clear of residue. You can tell by how bright green they become. The greens are strong enough to stand that peocess. Then, she would rinse them off before chopping them. Removing the stem first.

Your water is dirty because you're bleeding the greens. The greens bled out when the water is clear.

When you cut your greens, the nutrients will leak out. This is said about all greens, even lettuce.

So clean your greens before you cut them.
