Stir-Fry Collard Green is a delicious nutrient-packed dish. This side dish compliment any meal.
This recipe will serve 4-6
- About 8 collard green leaves or 4 cups sliced

Method

- Collard greens have thick vein running in the center of the leaf. Make sure to cut the leaf from both sides of the vein.
- Bunch the leaves together, roll them tightly and cut them crosswise in thin strip.
- In a wide heavy pan heat the oil over medium heat. Add cumin seed. As seeds crack add red chilies and stir for a few seconds.
- Next add collard green, salt and ginger and increase the heat to medium high. Stir–fry for 3-4 minutes. When the leaves are tender, turn off the heat.
- Add black pepper and lemon juice over greens and stir. The collard greens are ready to serve.
Serving Suggestions
- Serve them as a side dish.
- Garnish the plain rice with Stir Fry Collard Greens; this gives a nice color and texture to rice.
- Take a toasted bagel or slice of bread spread the cream cheese and garnish with stir-fry collard green to make an open face sandwich.
- I also like to use them in grilled cheese sandwich.

My 12-year-old son recently started eating greens (I’m so happy!) thanks to his wonderful teacher, who is growing veggies with the kids, and cooking! I am going to see if she will try this with them. Thanks again, Mrs. Jain, for all you do. We love your food, and I appreciate how easy your recipes are!

Excellent recipe. Would collard green leaves be a good substitute for patra leaves (rolls , with masala besan paste and fried) ?
