Fried Collard Greens for New Years Day!

[@harriettdennison6693]

S-o-o-o nice to see a real cook who’s clean and cooking from scratch. Not “nary” a can of anything in sight!! Thank you for showing how it’s really done…right! 🎉

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you for watching Harriett! God bless🙏

[@Scarlet99977]

One thing I love abut my people of color - we are going to wash our meat and veggies well, before we commence cooking.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Yes!

[@Scarlet99977]

thanx

[@LindaEubanks-m8p]

I love collards 2. I season mine with fat back grease and streak of lean but yours looks delicious. I can't help but notice how clean you are with your cooking!!! thank you for sharing for sharing your recipes!!!

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you so much for your comments.

[@LEARNINGABOUTHEAVEN]

my grandad cut the bitter in collards by adding some cabbage. looks nice too. thank you for your video. Delicious!!!

[@maryreed6119]

I always love cooking a little cabbage in my greens, taste is amazing...

[@maryreed6119]

Wish I could buy a bag of the green leaves from the cabbage to cook with my greens, yummy!

[@Scarlet99977]

Just wonderful

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you 😊

[@trinacawthon8782]

Excellent job showing us how to cook fried collard greens. Thank you for sharing Jackie 😊

[@suzanneharris7473]

Love ham hocks cooked in my collard greens 😋

[@annettep.1605]

Oh Lordy, Jackie I really like your style of southern cooking. I'm a native Floridian. That looks delicious! I bet you can really cook up a pot of mustards or also turnip greens, & I like to mix green, especially turnip & mustards. Collards a treat, too. Imo, collards & rutabaga greens tastes similar. I want to try different greens to wrap & cook dolmades, which are seasoned rice, vinegar, seasonings, with mint, onions & garlic, etc, wrapped in greens leaves, cooked in herbed tomato sauce. I enjoy them.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

That sounds delicious! Thanks for watching and Happy New Year!

[@lorrainemadison8569]

Oh wow. I prepare my greens by separating each leaf, looking at it, destem it, stack them on top, then roll , then slice. Wash just how u do. I have to check out the leaves first. Tfs

[@mrsrmjackson1]

I agree with separating each leaf looking at each one just like she found that tag. Just saying bugs and worms be on those greens

[@MaryGraydon-x5f]

Happy birthday 🥳🎂

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thanks 🙏

[@flowv3303]

after we picked and cleaned our greens, granny always told us to double wash. but i think she quadruple washed em. With turnips/mustards we would give em an xtra bath though😄

[@Ginnyvelarde]

Love your recipe. I’d like to pass on a little hack to help keep your cutting board/mat from sliding around. Put a moistened and squeezed wash cloth under the mat and that will keep it from moving as you cut/chop. Happy New Year !

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Wow! Great tip! I would have never thought of that. Thank you and I will be using this tip the very next time I use my chopping board 👍🏼

[@peppergarrison8521]

Thank you so much but this video. I am going to prepare this for Christmas dinner

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Hope you like it!

[@williamhicks9905]

we put ours in a 7 qt steamer with neck bones olive oil spoonful of sugar and they are ready in 30 minuetes

[@patriciagee1905]

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Happy New Year Belinda!

[@DDandBuddytoo]

That’s some pretty bacon! 5:42

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

IKR! I ate a couple of pieces and gave the rest to Monty. It’s his favorite!

[@cocosims9979]

I tried this using the salted pork. It came put good. I fried it first. Emptied off the and used that grease to start sautéing the onions and greens

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Sounds great!

[@patriciaragland1286]

Yum

[@Gail-yj1ld]

First time watching your video love the way you cut up your greens take care, and I will be doing it the same way take care

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thanks and welcome

[@DDandBuddytoo]

Yum! I’ll be cooking mine up for Sunday. Happy belated birthday! I forgot to send your card this year. I hope you have a great new year!

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you Donna! Happy New Year!🎆

[@EstherMitchell]

And it's healthier, looks good 👍 👌 😋

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Yes, thank you

[@mamiestacy1704]

Jackie, your collards look delicious 😋 I love collards. Have a very Happy New Year to you and yours!!! ❤💕❤

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you Mamie! Happy New Year!

[@lourdesnunez1146]

Thank you for sharing. I love this recipe.

[@DrHollyVLong]

Your hair is gorgeous too 😊 I like looking good while I’m cooking for my husband 😅

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

😊 thank you

[@connieturner572]

I would plant those stems in some soil just to see what happens🏞

[@maryreed6119]

My family eats turkey tails but not the bacon and fat,, what's an alternative?

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

The alternative is chicken broth and olive oil😉

[@bessie9565]

You can plant the stims in the garden 😅

[@DDandBuddytoo]

I have a question. Do you add the baking soda every time you add the new water? Or do you just use it the first time you’re washing them?

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

No just with the first wash. Let it sit for about 10 minutes with very hot water then wash normally. The second and third wash don’t get baking soda.

[@jacquelinecummins4694]

Is that a cast iron skillet? I didn't know you should use cast iron skillets on a ceramic top stove 🤔

[@LindatheOldBird]

where did you find your specular #JackiesSouthernSoul ? thanks for sharing this - John 3:17

[@TaylorsFSCooking]

Looks delicious. Now I'm not a fan of stems, but I do people who like them

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you. The stems taste just like the leaves to me.

[@rosvittarobinson5567]

ohooo bug

[@joanmcintosh4826]

Wash first I Would , what if Bug's was in them? Cut them up too.

[@ellacade3362]

What kind of broth was use was use

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Smoked turkey tail broth. The recipe is in the description of the video😉

[@sherrybeaston5173]

How Many Ladels of broth ? ? ? ?

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

I add a few ladles at a time as the greens cook. As the broth cooks off add more until your greens are cooked to the tenderness that you like👍🏼

[@kimsmalls4831]

Fried or boiled collards?

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

I prefer fried but I eat boiled too as long as they are not mushy.

[@MaryLawson-j5g]

Yes Ma'am we wash our meats be fore we cook it

[@janice369]

Waste not want not. There's nothing wrong with stems like you did. Just like with broccoli. You just heed to cook them long enough.

[@edwincooke879]

Can you use beef bacon? I am allergic to pork.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

I’d use some kind of smoked turkey before I’d use beef bacon just because there’s nothing much to beef bacon. You can also use chicken or vegetable broth.

[@sylverstarduster]

Ahhh-Ahh! NO! I learned the hard way that you need to take apart them greens, rinse each leaf off on both sides, & Clean them before you commence to choppin’ em up! I made the mistake of choppin’ em up 1st, THEN put them in the washing bowl in the sink. What I found was a disgusting grasshopper, & some small maggots chopped up all over my beautiful cut greens🤢🤮I’m sorry, ain’t No amount of water, can clean that off of my greens, period! Even though I know I could clean them all off, But I cannot unsee those chopped up gross Asf maggots, eatin’ & shyttin’ all over my supper!! Nope. I threw thst entire bunch in the trash, went back to store, & Bought more, & cleaned & cook the best greens I ever ate!! Wash them ALWAYS before you cut anything!!

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Yes Sir🙏

[@rosvittarobinson5567]

Bugs 6:01

[@EstherMitchell]

Looks good but to much time for me I cook my greens and cabbage in with my meat,

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

It takes meat a long time to cook and I don’t cook my greens to mush.

[@whowell117]

I would have cut the stems off

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Stems are delicious and full of fiber 😉

[@lawrencewife777]

The stems are where the flavor is! But you got to know how to cut those stems? Nothing looks worse than a pot full of stemless FLAT COLLARD GREENS.

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

I love the stems too but my family doesn’t so I don’t put a lot of them in mine. I also think that not only do they taste good but they make the dish look prettier.

[@brians.melvin3668]

Dang Jackie you sure are wearing that back ground song out lol.. I think would be better as intro and video just in natural sound personally but hell what do I know..

[@JackiesSouthernSoul]

Thank you for watching Brian. I like this soundtrack and yea I’ve been using it a long time. Others use it also but when I use it, I identify it with my channel.

[@brians.melvin3668]

@@JackiesSouthernSoul I understand.. nice videos nonetheless.. take care

[@brendahearst5053]

Can you explain why you fry first if you’re adding broth to the greens?
