Expert Tips

Collard is a variety of cabbage that doesn't form a head but grows with large, loose leaves at the top of a tall stem. The greens taste a bit like spinach without the bite. Their fibrous texture tenderizes with the traditional slow, long cooking that is the hallmark of soul food. In this recipe, the greens are boiled for a short time and then finish softening in the oven. Potlikker is the tasty broth that remains after cooking collards and other greens. After the greens are removed from the pot, you can soak up all of the vitamin-packed liquid with cornbread or any other type of starch.

    I normally don't change up new recipes a lot, like people on these web sites seem to do - but I forgot to buy collards! I used not-frozen chopped, bagged spinach that I already had instead (and cut off as many stems as I could), with everything else the same. Delicious!! Totally, totally making this again.

    I love this recipe! It's a great quick fix when I crave Southern home cooking. I will definitely add this one to my New Year's buffet and only adding crumbled bacon. Yumm

    This is an excellent bread to go with meals. Easy to make and easy on the tummy. It also has the vitamins we all should make sure we have with the greens in with it!
