Steps
Warm the olive oil in a wide skillet. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 90 seconds. Add the spices (salt through red pepper flakes), stir, and cook for 30 seconds more until toasted.
Stir in the collard greens, stirring well to coat with the spices, and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until softened and reduced in size by about half. Add the mirin or other liquid, stir in well, and quickly cover the pan with a lid. Reduce the heat to medium-low and let steam, covered, for about 5 minutes.
Remove the lid and stir well. If needed, continue cooking until desired softness is reached. Serve warm.

KP on 2023-01-19 (5 stars): This was great--made it twice already. Thank you - I'm on a restrictive diet due to allergies and needed a new source of calcium.
Michelle on 2022-09-09 (5 stars): This recipe is soooo good! I bought tons of collard greens to up my calcium intake. Thank was looking for ways to cook it when I saw your recipe. I added diced mushrooms and also used veggie broth to cook it while it steam. I will be using this to cook my greens from now on.
Frank on 2022-08-23 (5 stars): Thanks for the starter recipe Shannon. I added a large white onion and Balsamic vinegar. Turned out scrumptious!
Resa on 2022-01-11 (5 stars): Usually make something like this with spinach but wasn’t sure if collards required any other steps. So delicious! Omitted the salt and added miso at the end. Will be having this regularly.
Alexis on 2021-04-11 (4 stars): Good recipe. Needed just a little more seasoning so I did add the smoked Paprika as suggested and a soffrito blend seasoning. Also I did use the olive oil but added a little veggie broth 1/4 cup to sautee in....PERFECT!
Kristin Robinson on 2020-11-08 (5 stars): This recipe is delicious and super easy! I added a little honey too!
Edd BAYES on 2020-10-11 (5 stars): I’m slowly turning vegan. These taste good without the pork, Amazing.
James Briggs Murray on 2020-06-24 (5 stars): What a perfect surprise to discover this recipe! I’d just finished cleaning & prepping two large bunches of organic collards when I remembered I had a large container of baby spinach. I’d often combined collards & kale, but never collards & spinach. So, after making the collards in my wok with the recommended spices (& a few others, of course) I added my spinach until it wilted and OH! WHAT A HEALTHFUL, DELICIOUS, AND EASY MEAL!!!!!! Thank you!!!!!!!
Alexandra on 2020-02-04 (5 stars): Excellent! Love the addition of spinach at the end. My whole family loves this
Deb on 2019-12-10 (5 stars): Good Recipe this is exactly how I make most greens except for mustards.
