Won a vegetarian collards taste test
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My fiance and I are throwing a southern buffet dinner for our rehearsal dinner, and I realized that several guests would... appreciate some vegetarian options. Since southern vegetables often include meat, finding a vegetarian option for collards was a coup. I tried another recipe from another site, and this one was so much better! I used homemade vegetable stock, and I really think that improved the flavor of the pot likker immensely. I used a bit of smoked paprika, and next time I might use a bit more. The red pepper flakes gave it a nice kick. I cooked it about 50 minutes, but it could probably cook for longer to make the greens just melt. Salting at the end is a must. Read more

Mystified by the ratings
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

OK, first let me say that I love Sunny, but these collards were average at best. I certainly would not make again. Perhaps I... did something wrong, but these greens were boring. Sorry, Sunny. Read more

Will have to try again
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Ok, the recipe was a good one, however the cook time was......??????. I had to cook my greens for at least 3 hours to get... them to taste like "grandma's". I tried frozen greens instead of fresh or the ones in the bag. I will try these again. Read more

So Yummy!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

These were so good, and easy to make! Get some cheap fresh collard greens from the farmer's market, and you'll have yourself... a very cost-effective side dish! Will make again and again!Read more

Perfection
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My best friend, who is from Georgia, said these were the best collard greens she'd ever had. I agree. I added a little smoked... paprika and apple cider vinegar for a kick.Read more
