• 4 to 5 bunches of collard greens

• butter (use 1/2 tablespoon for every cup of shredded collards)

• Wash the collard greens. Remove the stems and roll the leaves tightly together. Slice into very thin strips with a sharp knife.

• Cook over high heat stirring constantly until collard greens just start to wilt.

• Just before serving, melt the butter and add collard greens. Sprinkle with salt and serve.

For a different taste: 

• Try mincing 1 small onion and 2 cloves garlic and cook in butter until lightly brown.

• Add the collard greens and cook as above.
