I admit it. I love a “good” collard green. But there is not much worse than a stringy collard. I met Michael Twitty and enjoyed his collards. I asked him his secret and he told me to chiffonade the greens. That combined with proper cooking gives you a great greens dish.
In this particular case I made them meat free, for friends that weren’t eating meat that night. You can also make them with a smoked turkey leg instead of liquid smoke if you want the meat.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
