        Why does this stuff have to come in such a massive bunch? I bought some of this and the rabbits will never get anywhere’s near finishing it before it goes bad. 

        I’ve never tried it myself but I would like to. How do you prepare it? Do you eat it in a salad, cook it, what?

        Maybe if I eat what they eat I’ll get as cute as them and then everyone will do my bidding…must be nice being a bunny

          They are delicious if you like greens. I sautee them in oil very hot and quickly (just to shrink really), and eat with black pepper and lemon juice as a side dish to fried eggs.

            I bought some for Hannah but she wouldn’t eat them. I should’ve cooked them up for us, but by the time we got home from Texas they were mushy 🙁

            Petzy, are they bitter? I remember my mom making greens when I was a kid and they were very bitter. I always figured you had to blanche them before sauteing, but the way you cook them is just how I make spinach – so easy and quick.

              haha! So glad you asked this. I bought cavolo nero (fancy name for black leaf kale or tuscan kale). I’m also looking at ways to use it up. I found a simple way that sounds appetising enough but who knows….
              Ingredients
              1 bunch kale, stems removed and leaves coarsely chopped
              1 clove garlic, minced
              1 tablespoon olive oil
              2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
              Salt and ground black pepper to taste
              Directions
              Cook the kale in a large, covered saucepan over medium-high heat until the leaves wilt. Once the volume of the kale is reduced by half, uncover and stir in the garlic, olive oil and vinegar. Cook while stirring for 2 more minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.

              At the fruit & veg store they told me a customer says you freeze kale then grate it and cook. Something like this. Freezing changes it somehow to make it more palatable. Maybe something to do with sugars?

              The lemon juice as Petzy suggested would cut thru bitterness too – I imagine.

                We fry them, I think the way sarita said, and then I eat them with Parmesan cheese!

                  LPT, have you eaten your greens?! I cooked up mine tonight in the way I posted above. Was nice – I was surprised. Only subtle bitterness. I expected them to be more tender though. Anyone got tips for that or are they supposed to be this way?

                    Do y’all know about epicurious? It is the best recipe website I know. They have been around for such a long time you can find recipes with over 200 reviews that still rate 4 forks!
                    Any way if you go to the epicurious web site and search “collard greens” you will get about 50 recipes. The Bread stuffing with Crawfish and bacon sounds good.What about Collard potato Salad with Mustard dressing. Yes, they also have good old sautéed and slow cooked collard recipes too.

                        I haven’t tried them yet, I think they’ve already gone south but I will try my next batch. I really gotta cook more (but I hate it sooooo much… )

                        I suspected they would taste bitter just by the smell they give off raw. Not overly appetizing but I’m willing to try anything if it’s healthy.
