You can Collard in any supermarkets. I usually grow my own! It’s the easiest plant to grow.
Here is my favorite healthy recipe which I cook once a week.
Wash the Collards and –
1. Layer on top of each other and roll tightly like a paper towel. Slice very thin.
2. Chop onions, garlic, ginger, green chilies (optional) & a few table spoon of fresh grated coconut(You can purchase frozen in Goya section), 1 teaspoon of one of the following ( curry powder, coriander powder, cumin powder or anything to season from your pantry.)
3. In a large bowl, place the sliced collard greens, along with the above and mix it with hand thoroughly and let them relax for about half an hour.
4. In a heavy pot add a few table spoon of olive oil heat. Add a pinch of mustard seeds and Cumin seeds. When the mustard start to pop, add some dried red chilies. Dump the whole collard in the pot and stir fry in very low heat. You can add some Soy sauce for flavor. This dish goes very well with rice.

I use collard greens when I make “laing”. It’s less hassle than gabi leaves. At least you don’t have to dry them to get rid of the “toxins” in gabi leaves that most people are allergic to.

This vegetable looks like “kulis” a locally grown vegetable in bicol.

MM,

Perchance, is there a Tagalog word for collard greens? During my visits to the Philippines I have searched the wet markets, high and low, for this vegetable since it is a favorite of mine but unable to find it (eastern Visayas region).

Try this recipe. Stack leafs on top of each other, roll into a tight bunch and cut the rolled up bunch of collard greens into 1/4″ slices. Cook 2 – 3 smoked ham hocks, reserve liquid. Add 2 – 3 tablespoons bacon fat to reserved liquid, salt and pepper, and sliced collard greens. Boil until tender but not mushy, about 45 minutes. Slice cooked ham hocks and add to collard greens. Serve hot.
