A delightful twist on classic sautéed collard greens, enhanced with garlic and a touch of lemon for a fresh and vibrant flavor.
Wash the collard greens thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit.
Cut the greens into uniform strips for even cooking.
Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.
Use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking.
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Be careful not to burn the garlic as it can turn bitter.
Add the collard greens to the skillet and toss to coat them in the butter and spices.
Add the greens in batches if they don't all fit at once, letting them wilt slightly before adding more.
Cook the greens, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 7-10 minutes.
Cover the skillet with a lid to help the greens cook faster.
Season the greens with salt and black pepper to taste.
Taste the greens before adding salt as they may already have enough flavor.
Squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the greens and give them a final toss before serving.
The lemon juice adds a bright, fresh flavor to the dish.
Serve the greens warm as a side dish and enjoy!
Garnish with a lemon wedge for an extra touch of presentation.
