1. Wash leaves and drain, but don’t dry. Stack a few leaves, with a large one on the bottom, and roll them up in a tight cylinder, so the stem runs along the length of the roll. Hold it tightly, and shave it crosswise into very thin ribbons. Cut all the greens this way.

!!!Would suggest soon after they become dark green/are cooked they should be taken out of the pan, otherwise they become quite bitter.

2. In a large skillet or Dutch oven over high heat, heat the oil until shimmering, add garlic and stir. When the garlic is golden, add the collards, and cook, tossing thoroughly with tongs, until they’re all dark green, tender with a little bit of crunch. Add salt to taste.
