Collard Greens Pressure Cooker Method

---

I found this recipe on the atlanta journal-constituition website. however, the original recipe did not include amounts of the ingreedients. that tells me that the recipe is forgiving - feel free to adjust it to your own tast. pressure cooking makes the collards velvety without bitterness and takes only 20 minutes.

Steps

---

Remove the dirt from the collard greens by filling your sink with cold water and soaking them for a 1 / 2 hour.

---

While the greens are soaking , put the chicken broth , oil , tomato puree , onion , garlic , and vinegar into the bottom of the pressure cooker and stir to combine the ingreedients.

---

Remove the greens from the sink one at a time , disturbing the water as little as possible.

---

The dirt will remain on the bottom and the greens will float to the top.

---

Remove the thickest parts of the stems at the base of the greens and chop the stems nto small pieces.

---

Then , place the greens on top of one another and roll them into cigar-shaped bundles.

---

Cut the greens into one or two inch wide pieces.

---

Toss the greens and stems with the sugar and salt.

---

Then , add them to the pot and toss to coat with the oil mixture.

---

Pressure cook for about 20 minutes.
