These delicious, nutritious, garlicky greens can be cooked in no time for the perfect last-minute side dish. Mature collard greens tend to be bitter and tough, which can affect taste and cooking time. Make sure your collards are young, fresh, and tender when preparing this recipe and remove the tough, fibrous stems. Stack the leaves on top of each other and roll one long side up to the other in a cigar-like fashion. Slice the rolled-up leaves crosswise to create ribbons or chiffonade. This lacy cut helps the leaves cook faster.
