Adapted from a recipe at epicurious.com, originally published in the September 2007 issue of Gourmet

Serves 2

10 oz. collard greens

1 tablespoon oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

½ teaspoon salt

Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Wash the collard greens well. Remove the stems and thick center ribs from the greens. Cut the leaves in half, lengthwise. Stack several leaves and roll them up; then slice the rolled leaves into ¼ inch slices.

Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the greens, salt, and pepper to the pan. Cook and stir for 3-4 minutes, until the greens are just done.
