Sidedish - Fried cabbage and collard greens recipes

Author: Nancy Klopfenstein  

I always top off my cabbage or greens with chow-chow, which is a mixture of tomatoes, diced onions, bell peppers, hot sauce and vinegar. Collard greens don’t have the cachet of popular greens like black kale and rainbow chard.

Fried Cabbage with Collards

This recipe started off as “Oops I don’t have enough cabbage,” so I added some collard greens that I had to stretch the portions. It ended up with everyone really loving the combination of the two greens with the smoky bacon, spices, sweet peppers and fragrant garlic. It’s two Southern gems wrapped up in one dish. I always top off my cabbage or greens with chow-chow, which is a mixture of tomatoes, diced onions, bell peppers, hot sauce and vinegar. It gives it an extra zing of pickled flavor.

Ingredients:
  • 4 slices thick-cut bacon, cut into bite-size pieces
  • 1/4 cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup diced white onions (I like Vidalia)
  • 2 cups shredded collard greens
  • 1 medium head cabbage, sliced into 1/2-inch-long pieces
  • 1 teaspoon chicken bouillon
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Creole seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic paste
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Chow-chow, for serving, optional
How to cook:
  1. In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from the pan. Sauté the bell pepper and onions in the same pan until tender and browned in spots, for 2 minutes. Add the shredded collard greens and cook on low heat until softened, for 4 minutes. Add the cabbage, chicken bouillon, salt, Creole seasoning, garlic paste and black pepper and cook on medium heat for an additional 10 to 15 minutes or until the cabbage and greens are tender. Add some water if the mixture is too dry. Put the bacon back into the pan, stirring it in for even distribution. Cover until ready to serve. Serve with chow-chow on the side, if desired.

Cuisine: Plant-based
Number of ingredients: 9
Ingredients:
  • 8- to 10-ounce bunch collard greens
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup pre-grated carrots or thin baby carrots

How to cook:
  1. Cut the collard green leaves away from their stems with a sharp knife or kitchen shears. Stack 6 to 8 similar-sized leaf halves atop one another at a time. Roll up snugly from one of the narrow ends, then slice thinly crosswise. Chop the slices in a few places to shorten the ribbons. Place in a colander and rinse well.
  2. Heat about half of the oil in a wide skillet or stir-fry pan. Add the garlic and sauté for a minute or so over low heat.
  3. Add the collard greens, and layer the carrots, cabbage, and scallions over them in that order. Turn the heat up to medium and add about 1/4 cup water. Cover and steam for about 3 to 4 minutes.
  4. Drain off the water and drizzle in the remaining oil. Turn the heat up to medium-high and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes longer, or until all the vegetables are tender-crisp to your liking.
  5. Drizzle in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper. Add some red pepper flakes for some heat, if you’d like. Serve at once.

Spicy Stir-Fried Collard Greens With Red or Green Cabbage

Spicy Stir-Fried Collard Greens With Red or Green Cabbage
Collard greens don’t have the cachet of popular greens like black kale and rainbow chard. This is probably because collards have a stronger flavor and tougher leaf than many other greens. They do stand up to longer cooking, but they don’t require it. In this stir-fry, they stood in for more traditional greens like Chinese broccoli or bok choy and cooked up crunchy. As a bonus, collards are a great source of calcium. According to the Harvard School of Public Health, a cup of cooked collard greens has more calcium than a glass of skim milk.
