Collard greens

I used a bag of already washed and cut greens. I sauted a half cup of chopped onion in some olive oil and then added a cup of smoked sausage (We prefer andouille, but you can use any smoked sausage or bacon) sliced into bite size pieces. If you are going meatless, just omit. I added a teaspoon of minced garlic and continue to saute about 2- 3 minutes total. I added a tablespoon of chopped chipotle in adobo. Some folks add a pinch of sugar..I added about 2 tablespoons of dry sherry which gave the greens a nice sweet taste.  Add your greens in batches. As they cook down a bit, add more. Season with salt and of course we added some creole seasoning. Add about 2 cups of water or chicken broth and cover. Simmer for an hour stirring occassionally. These go good with ribs or a pork roast.
