I enjoyed this method more than boiling them. Used 4 bunches of collard greens and about 2 sticks of butter. Turned the collard greens with tongs in a stock pot until they were cooked through. Still found them to be bitter so I covered the pot and turned the fire down to low for 20 minutes, turning once or twice. Salted and ate them with grilled pork chops and Mean Chef's perfect rice. Thank you LikeitLoveit!

Thanks for the couve recipe! IMO it's the only way to unlock the potential of the collard green. This recipe should be a news flash to those people who think it takes hours of smelly turmoil to cook the collard green. Lots of modifying can be done to suit health/guest requirements. I use olive oil for my own collards, and if guests or picky g/f's are eating, I always add a little lime or lemon juice, and sometimes a little sweet rice wine vinegar (mas, nao para brasileiros), particularly I get a batch of astringent tasting collards.
