Interesting take on collard greens. I used a lite beer and still found it was a little too bitter for my taste. But worth a try. Made for ZWT9.

First, please keep in mind that this is my first taste of collard greens. I picked up some beautiful young greens last night at Wheatsfield Coop in Ames. I used a parring knife to slide down the thick stem to remove it. I wonder if it would have been as easy to glide the knife down if it had been a larger older leaf? I did try the hand method but liked the knife best. This was very easy to make. I think I cooked this about 25-30 minutes on low, as I did not know how tender the greens would get. I think I'd like a little added flavor from some bacon grease. Made for team Soup-A-Stars during ZWT9 2013

This recipe will taste different depending on what beer you use. I used an amber ale, and combined with the bitterness of the greens, it was just too bitter for me. Maybe it would be better with lager. I also substituted shallots for garlic, as DH is garlic averse. However, with a lighter beer, I think this would be a great way to use up a flat can of beer. The recipe was a nice change of pace, and used ingredients I usually have handy. Made for ZWT8.
