how do you cook coloar greens?

Answer 1

Being from the south, I cook my turnip greens, collard greens & polk salad the same way. First rinse and clean well. Tear leaves into medium pieces, removing the stems. Fill stockpot with about 6 cups water, add greens, a piece of hamhock or fatback, 1 tbsp sugar & 2 tsp of nutmeg ( the nutmeg is the key - makes them sweet & tender ) Bring to boil & simmer for a couple of hours & serve with your favorite country fixings.....

Answer 2

i hope you mean collard greens:

Thoroughly wash 2 pounds of greens. Two or more washings may be necessary.
Trim tough stalks and tear or cut large greens in pieces. Cut thick veins out of collard greens.
In a large pot, bring 6 to 7 quarts of water to a boil.
Add a ham hock or a 4-ounce piece of salt pork to the pot.
Add a tablespoon of salt.
Continue boiling for 10 or 15 minutes.
Add the washed greens to the pot.
Cover and simmer until greens are tender. Depending on the type of greens used, this might take an hour.
Makes enough for 4 people.

Answer 3

Collard greens are cooked the same way spinach and turnip greens are cooked. You put the leafy stuff in a pot with some water, and then you boil the water until the leafy stuff is sort of slimy. Then you turn off the heat, strain the greens, put them into a plate and eat them. Some people put salt on them first.

Answer 4

wash the green well, have a big pot boiling with water , cut them up some and cook with seasoning, [put some meat in them, ham hocks, salt pork, or beef ribs] and let them cook on medium for a hour and half. test to see if done, if not cook more[i also would cook the meat first for a hour so it will be cooked well for eating.....i usually mix collard and mustard for better taste ,collards are somewhat bitter..some people put a little vinegar in them to help the bitterness....

Answer 5

Collard Greens
Submitted by: Brad
Rated: 4 out of 5 by 9 members Yields: 6 servings

"Simmer fresh collard greens with salt pork or ham hocks until tender and tasty, and serve with a dash of sugar and apple cider vinegar for a tangy jolt of flavor."
INGREDIENTS:
6 ounces salt pork
8 cups water
salt to taste 2 bunches collard greens
1/2 cup cider vinegar
4 teaspoons white sugar

DIRECTIONS:
1. Place the pork, water and salt in a medium size pot. Bring to a boil over medium high heat. Skim off any fat that rises to the top. Reduce temperature to low and let simmer for 30 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, prepare greens. Discard damaged or yellow parts of leaves. Cut away the tough ends from each leaf. Place greens in a colander, and wash thoroughly until rinse water is clear of dirt. Fold each leaf in half at its center vein, fold over once or twice more, then cut in half.
3. Stir prepared greens into the simmering liquid. Let simmer all together for approximately 1 hour over low heat. Ladle into shallow bowls, and add sugar and cider vinegar to each bowl. Serve.

Answer 7

Collard Greens. Wash the greens. Blanche them. This means put them in boiling water for about 45 seconds, then take them out and rinse them in cold water. Next, squeeze the water out, chop them up and saute (pan fry) them in oil with some garlic and other spices. I like cumin, onions and chili powder. I always use oilive oil, but the older way uses lard (yuck). Good luck.

Answer 8

I grew up on all kinds of greens and purely hate them all.
You need to clean them really well and boil with lots of water some salt and some kind of pork meat for seasoning. mama used salt pork but some use fatback.
