Collard Greens

6/14/2015

 
Picture
In Season
Collards are a cool weather crop and are at their best in the early summer and fall. 

Storage Tips
up to 2 weeks in fridge
Best when eaten fresh, but may be stored in a plastic bag in the hydrator drawer in your fridge.

To freeze, and cut out the midrib and stem and chop into uniform pieces; wash thoroughly.  Blanch for 3 minutes in boiling water, cool immediately, and drain.  Pack into containers, leaving 1/2 inch headroom, and freeze.

Culinary Tips
  • Slice out the main rib and slice it into chunks. Slice the leaves into strips.
  • Saute garlic in olive oil, add sliced collards with a bit of water, cover and braise until collards become bright green, about 9 min. Top with tamari, balsamic vinegar, or toasted sesame oil.
  • Add collards to stir fries.
