I make sweetheart cabbage (which is very similar) in a really simple way. I wash it in a colander and keep it quite wet. In a pan (deep one) I heat up olive oil and garlic, then I put the wet greens in, give it a stir, add a little salt and put the top on. Let them steam for 5 minutes in that water, and try to see if you like them.

Thats it! Sometimes I like them a little firmer than other times, so thats what I mean about trying them.

I've tried really hard to make collard greens taste good and I can never get it right - maybe they are just too bitter for me.

When I did make them, I blanched them in boiling water to make them a little more tender.
Separate pan saute bacon and onions. Add collards to the pan with garlic, salt, and pepper and cook over low heat.

Collards are tough, I think you need to slow cook them to break them down - they break down MUCH slower than a spinach or something.
