    Serving Suggestions

    • These sides are designed for serving with a nice main course such as a baked ham, roasted turkey, or beef roast.
    • Traditionally collard greens are simmered for an hour or more. If you like your greens well cooked, add 1 more cup broth and cook 30 more minutes in step 3.
