Island Collards Preparation

Collard greens, a plentiful winter vegetable, are a wonderful source of calcium and iron. They”re best and healthiest when eaten slightly crunchy, so be sure not to overcook them. 1. Stack 4-6 collard leaves and roll them up diagonally. Thinly slice the leaves crosswise. Reserve. 2. Place bacon in a large, heavy pot over low heat and cook for 5 minutes, stirring, to render fat.
