1 medium yellow onion, diced
2 large cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
water
balsamic vinegar
pepper
Directions:Saute onion and garlic in oil over med-hi heat. When tender, add greens. Stir for 2-3 minutes, then add enough water to almost cover the greens. Stir occasionally. When greens are tender and bright green, and some of the water has boiled off, add a spash of balsamic vinegar and pepper to taste.
This is a very low-fat way to enjoy a really cheap food.
Serves: 2-3
Preparation time: 25-30 min
Yummy! A true southern delight! But don't forget to was colards (and all greens) very very very well ... garden bugs are known to cling to the undersides of leaves. And if the dish is a bit strong for your tastes ... try TURNIP greens prepared the same way ... much milder in flavor, but still delicious & nutritious!

This is an excellent dish, rich in vitamins and minerals. I mixed a combination of collards and mustard greens. Really delicious.

I found this to be real good, though I thought adding the water in made the onions a bit mushy. Next time I am going to try steaming the collard greens first, then adding them in with the onions and garlic to sautee a bit.

Try adding a few drops of liquid smoke and much less water.
