I'd love to try some collard greens southern USA style sometime too

is it packed with fatty flavours and sugar or something? always seemed strange when I saw real fatass people eating meals of pure BBQ meat etc then they add collard greens and love it

>>10895236
I like steamed bokchoy with some ginger/soy kind of dressing after it's cooked, really nice addition to some asian style grilled meat

I love steaming it cause it can stay nice and crunchy

>>10895244
dunno about southern style, but asians eat collard greens with bbq too. my parents either did it sauted with garlic, or slightly pickled.

The real fatty leaf dish is creamed spinach. Who wants some greens with their butter?

korean-esque spinach

>wash spinach
>blanch it in boiling water for 30 seconds
>pour it into a collander and run cold water over it washing it more until it's cold
>squeeze all the water out, hard, with your hands
>mix a little sesame oil, a little rice wine vinegar, 1 clove minced garlic, pinch of salt and a pinch of sugar
>chop the ball of spinach
>mix in dressing and lots of toasted sesame seeds

I make that all the time, very clean dish, nice crunch, not overcooked like spinach always is

>creamed spinach

>>10895266
sounds yum, personally I wouldn't add the guar I find rice wine vinegar pretty sweet already

>>10895270
*sugar

>>10895270
ye it doesn't need it
i change the dressing up
ponzu or soy is good too

but the technique of blanching spinach and then wringing the water all out and seasoning it quite strongly is awesome.
it's from maangachi

works with watercress too and others

>>10895274
seems like a lot of nutrients/flavour might be lost

>>10895288
try it before you pass judgement

>>10895296
yeah I just say it seems like it would, not that I'm declaring it will

>>10895323
sounds alright I guess, would be nice with chicken or fish way too much work me personally when I could just wilt it in the pan with some salt and pepper in a minute

>>10895244
Southern style is easy. You’d cook it just like kale or something. Cook one bunch with like a 1/4 cup of some sautéed yellow or white onion, seasoned salt and pepper and just a little stock or water, doesn’t take much. The first thing you do is sauté a couple pieces of smoked bacon cut into smalllish pieces.. Do not drain the bacon fat. Do not use sugar. Also do let the dish cook/simmer for like 30 minutes. You don’t need to de stem the collards, they will become quite soft with cooking.

Brussel Sprouts. I like them pretty much howevcer they are prepared, but Kenji's roasted chorizo version is my favourite:

I find that even people who say they hate brussel sprouts tend to love that recipe.

>>10895637
easy as fuck

might give it a go soon

>>10895249
This. Also bok choy is like $2 for a big bang of 12 bunches

Been using kale a lot lately. Same way you use spinach op. Either sauted or in salads. Sometime ill even just munch on it right out of the fridge

>>10895905
>eating raw kale from the fridge

>>10895930
Ita prewashed faggot. What's the problem here

>>10895236
Enjoy your kidney stones.

Collards, cabbage and spinach are my three favorites. I don't know which one I like best though.

Kale is garbage tier, I don't see how people enjoy it.

>>10898539
enjoy being triggered by a green vegetable fatty

>>10895930
Young kale, particularly elephant kale is quite tender and makes an excellent addition to salads. You're probably the same poster who hears someone occasionally hunts and eats rabbit and has to chime in that they'll die of "rabbit starvation."

beet leafs

>>10895236
Leafy greens are the only category of vegetables that I like with no exceptions.

Kale, turnip greens, collards, and cabbage are great for cooking. I usually add them and sliced carrots to instant ramen.

>>10895236
Cabbage is best. Kale is for those faggots with weird diets who think they're hot shit for eating inedible garbage.

>>10898818
This. Some blanched beet greens with garlic are awesome.
Or lemon and garlic with Lacinato kale.

>>10895236
What do you do with the spinach? Just sauteed in olive oil and with salt?

>>10898871
tiny bit of olive oil/or leftover bacon fat with a sprinkle of salt and sometimes a bit of garlic if the meal needs it, I'll usually start it off with some thinly sliced mushrooms in the pan and chuck spinach over it as it cooks down

pretty delish and for me necessary if I'm having bacon/eggs, got to have something to balance out all that fat and oil or the breakfast just puts me on my arse for an hour

???

>>10898824
You probably never had a good kale stamppot (mash pot)
Its quite good with some gravy and a smoked sausage

>No one's mentioned mustard greens yet
I always knew /ck/ had shit taste.

>>10899519
I'm thinking about doing some collards, mustard, and bok choy when the summer starts to die down.

>>10899519
Don’t do it. Turnip and mustard greens have shit bitter tastes, collards are the money green

>>10895236
I boil gai lan in salted water. so good I gobble it up with eggs/tomato and rice
