Ingredients
- 1 spray(s) cooking spray
- 2 clove(s) (medium) garlic clove(s), minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1 1/2 pound(s) uncooked collard greens, stems removed, the leaves thinly sliced*
- 1 tsp table salt
- 1 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
Preparation
Step 1
Spray a large nonstick skillet with nonstick spray and set over medium heat. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic begins to brown at the edges, about 1 minute.
Add the collards and salt. Toss well, then continue cooking, tossing all the while, until the collards just begin to wilt but are still crisp-tender, about 2 minutes.
Raise the heat to high and pour in the balsamic vinegar. Stir and toss for 1 minute as the balsamic reduces to a glaze.
Yields about 1 cup per serving.

Notes:
*To cut the collards into thin strips, stack up several stemmed leaves, then roll them up like a giant cigar. Starting at one end, slice into very thin strips, less than 1/8-inch thick, working your way all the way down the “cigar” until you have a pile of collard ribbons. Set these aside and make more-then quickly sauté them for this international new take on a favorite green.
