Was only looking for a sauteed collard green recipe and found this one ! So good, so fast , will absolutely do again ! I have to agree with some of the reviews, Aaron cooks food you want to eat, good, good food that you can not wait to try ! However Food Network, I think you have done him wrong in placing him on the time schedule that you have. People want to enjoy his food and his show and it is almost like you won't put him even near a time spot when he might get more reviews !

This is my go-to collard "starter" : I have a tendency to adjust as I'm cooking but this base is great. I love that sauteing the greens allows them to keep some of their crispness and bitterness. I typically to throw in some garlic and crumbled bacon and love to serve it alongside some country fried steak. Good southern cooking.
