Sauteed Collard Greens with Panko and Raisins

Servings 4 as a side

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons of butter
  • 1/2 cup of chopped onion
  • 1 garlic clove , chopped
  • 1/2 cup of panko or bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup of raisins
  • 1/2 teaspoon of salt
  • 2 cups of collard greens , thinly sliced (see note below)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, add butter and oil.
  2. When the butter is melted, add the onions and cook for about 5 minutes or until onions are clear and soft.
  3. Add the garlic, cook for about 30 seconds and add the panko and raisins. Stir the panko around the skillet so it will take in the golden colour from the butter.
  4. Season with salt and add the collards.
  5. Stir it around the skillet until cooked but still bright green, about 3 minutes. Do not feel tempted to cook the greens longer, or they will be overcooked.

Recipe Notes

To prepare the collard greens: wash and dry leaves. Remove the tough stems by cutting around them with a knife. Roll up the leaves and slice it thinly.
