Couve a mineira
(Brazilian Style Collard Greens)
4 to 5 bunches of collard greens (or kale) *NOTE: MR. G'S FAMILY PREFERS KALE!
butter (use 1/2 tablespoon for every cup of shredded
collards)
Wash the collard greens. Remove the stems and roll the
leaves tightly together. Slice into very thin strips with a sharp
knife.






Just before serving, melt the butter and add collard greens.
Cook over high heat stirring constantly until collard greens
just start to wilt. Sprinkle with salt and serve.
Note: This is the recipe I prefer as a garnish for feijoada.
Otherwise, mince 1 small onion and 2 cloves garlic and cook
in butter until lightly brown. Add the collard greens and cook
as above.
