LOL. "Hate" should be "have".

Traditional means putting your seasoning meat in the pot and get it started first. Then add the greens, garlic, peppers, etc. and as little water as possible because the greens will make their own pot liquor as they cook. Simmer the pot for a couple of hours.

Pepper, I never tried to cook greens in a pressure cook. That is not a half bad idea there.

Juss_ILP, our taste is running similar today for real. </div></div>

But whenever I cook callaloo I really don't cook it that long....that would cook all the vitamens out.....ditto dat wid spinach & pop chow, but have'nt really cooked collards, but can't imagine how they would be that different! IMO, greens cook fairly quickly!

Re: Sunday Dinner

Yes slow cooking them like that does have all the vitamins in the water, but that is the way they used to cook them and that's what I have the taste for sometimes. I have several alternate methods because I know that now.

Collards cook time cannot be compared to spinach but is more like callaloo. The one time I was able to find fresh callaloo here (other than my friend's mother's backyard), I didn't do such a good job with them. I really love the taste so I wish I could practice with them more.

Re: Sunday Dinner

@ TuffStuff, they don't sell frozen callaloo here any place that I have seen. I have tried the canned and I agree that WAS NOT right. It's liked canned asparagus in that something seriously got lost in the texture along the way. I did better than that on my bad batch. As for collards, frozen is better than none, but there is a massive difference in taste as compared to fresh.

@Ja. Jewel, Exactly!
