Sauteed Collard Greens

This classic recipe for sautéed collard greens offers a vibrant, lighter alternative to traditional slow-simmered greens. By quickly parboiling the leaves before finishing them in a frying pan with garlic and butter, you retain their deep green colour and a pleasant, firm texture. It is a nutritious vegetarian side dish that perfectly balances earthy notes with a bright, zesty finish from a final squeeze of lemon juice.

Rich in vitamins and minerals, these greens make a wonderful accompaniment to a Sunday roast or a smoky bean stew. This method is particularly useful for those seeking a quick, healthy way to prepare hardy winter brassicas without losing their fresh flavour. Serve immediately alongside your favourite main course for a simple yet sophisticated addition to any midweek meal.
