  1. I make my color greens with smoked. Turkey tails smoke, Turkey wings and lots of spices like chicken bully on tube onions, crush, red peppearth and liquid smoke. And I also mix it with. Turn up greens and mustard greens

  2. I basically cook my greens the same way but more vegetarian style no meat stock ,sauteed vegetables and diced up yellow sweet plantains, all my friends use to love my way and also some apple cider vinegar, African American Hebrew Style, looking forward to more of ur recipes 😊

  3. Oh, I love this recipe. I like the way you finely chopped the greens as this helps to speed up the cooking process and retain the nutrients within. Will be trying this soon.

  4. Yum 😋 I have not tried it I don’t know where to get the green vegetable here in Sydney Australia, but it looks so good. Can other vegetables be used instead of Collard greens?

  5. I am Black/African American, I cook my Collard Greens w/neck bones or hamhocks or even pigtails fresh or smoked depending on what my tastebuds want; I also use onions, garlic and tomatoes or fried bacon pieces to accentuate flavor and presentation. Most of all I like my collards cooked longer, I also flavor them w/apple cider vinegar and crushed red pepper flakes.

  6. I’ll use this as a side with rice and stew and I’ll use scotch bonnet instead of tomatoes. Or I may add tomatoes & scotch bonnet. Very healthy 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

  7. It’s been awhile since I’ve cooked collard this way. I think they have the best flavor this way. I grew up eating them boiled with hammocks or smoked Turkey, onions and seasoning. Thanks for sharing❤

  8. Looks very delicious I will definitely try this. I just want to know what is the vegetable called that u are cooking with or is it just called collard greens. Thanks for sharing ❤

  9. That’s the problem people here in America want to reach in the freezer put crap in the microwave , or buy fast food ,and are to lazy to go and use Uber- eats or door dash

  10. Hi! I’m a Southern white woman, I’ve eaten my share of collards in my lifetime. My mother cooked them many different ways, sometime with turnips and turnip greens, with salt pork or bacon. Make a pan of cornbread, you got yourself a meal. The pot liquor and cornbread is delish!!! Love to good cooking❤

  11. Love this; I love all greens but particularly collards. I always save all excess broth & freeze it for use in cooking future vegetables, as well as pasta or potatoes, or what-have-you.

  12. Same ingredients but more because of the quantity of the Collards to make the sauce and l like to add the meat ❤ to add rich Flavor . The the greens come last but without adding extra water for the greens produce it’s own juice blends so well in the sauce that it becomes aromatic in the whole kitchen and Yummy Finger licking to taste.! Make sure the meat is well seasoned and don’t forget good old Habanero
    to make it spicy and flavorful. Serve with Fufu zThere soup must be with sauce to allow free flow through the esophagus for easy digestion. 😂 Try am see as you go lick your fingers ❤ Happy Trial Mama .l am a Nigerian😂❤

  13. Make me a big plate, add pikled beets and fremented cabbbe on the side. And some cormbread. Yummy. I make my with smoked turkey, but I'm going to try your recipe. It looks delicious.

  14. I made those greens today and they definitely take more than 30 minutes to cook. Closer to an hour and forty five minutes or so. But I guess with less water in it, it retains more vitamins.

  15. I love ANY Greens, especially if they are prepared with more than just salt and plain water. These African Style Collard Greens look delicious. But can you use smoked bacon or ham-hocks instead of a beef cube, or does that make them too "Alabama-ish"?
