[@annawilliams9180]

What if I don’t have instant pot?

[@CamirrasKitchen]

simmer the turkey on the stove for about 45 min, then proceed with the rest of the recipe

[@pamelajefferies3197]

Do you have a pressure cooker ?

[@LA-gp9pl]

Great question 🤔

[@LA-gp9pl]

Thank you❤​@@CamirrasKitchen

[@janetseidlitz5976]

Collards are my favorite greens. So worth the time to cook.

[@alwaysjale]

Yessss and the combo with collards and cabbage is my runner up

[@NatalieWormely]

I’m so impressed how you pulling those greens off the stem

[@YellowBug15]

Thank you! I also make my pot licker before putting my collards in; I have never understood why some people just put them together and cook them! I’m always saying where is your flavor??!!?? Your recipe is so much like the one I was taught love it! I know those are some delicious greens!! Love your style!!

[@ptownraised76]

I just gotta say I love all your videos and it's such a blessing to watch and then try some of your recipes especially after a rough day. I have been a chef for many years but there is nothing like down home cooking. God bless you

[@CamirrasKitchen]

Thank you so much!

[@truthhurtz8517]

Looks delicious..😋😋

[@naphiesacox]

Mom likes the turkey tail, I like the ham hock for greens. I might have to try it in a insta pot

[@lindearajefferson5036]

I use smoked neck one

[@shay4705]

I like ham hocks or smoked neck bones.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

i love turkey tail but its hard for me to find sometimes!

[@naphiesacox]

@ Walmart usually has them but you have to catch them.

[@shandadee4077]

You can also add ginger,bell pepper and lemongrass. I’ve stayed away from boiling and started steaming them instead, but first massaging the greens with EVOO… they come out very tender

[@juliejackson8894]

It also looks so delicious 🤗

[@RobbyO-p5p]

I suggest washing greens in a big tub with plenty of water, or just a few leaves at a time in a sink full of water. By having a large volume of water, the dirt and girt will settle to the bottom. Sometimes just scrubbing and rinsing can miss dirt and sand in the crevices. Deep large volume of water is key.

[@bigpauleemarine3236]

Them greens look good 👍🏾

[@carolynarmstrong3850]

The way you clean your greens, I would eat at your house any time.

[@CindyMobley]

I only cook collards after we have a frost on them, really a couple of frost. They get so tender and sweet!

[@CharlotteClark-fz4hh]

YES

[@stormbunnie6966]

I've always heard that.. It does not freeze where I live and if it does, it won't be until Feb :( I love greens so much. I have been craving them!

[@CindyMobley]

@ so you can wash the collards and put them in a bag and put them in your freezer, let them stay for maybe a day and get almost frozen, take them out and cook them

[@BevCro09]

My older sister/friend taught me that. It works!❤

[@PurpleSheRa]

Making me 🤤 Camirra. Yummm 💜💜💜My grandma always used fatback. Hoping to get an Instapot for xmas. Dr.Bronners soap is nothin to be scared of when needing a bit of extra washing.

[@janettnuckles2764]

Because of your videos on washing collard greens I have started using salsa for all of my vegetables bought from the grocery store. Especially broccoli and things of that nature. Fresh broccoli taste so much better clean.

[@janettnuckles2764]

Sal suds

[@emilyguthrie6761]

This is my absolute favorite ❤ and I love it with the smoked turkey wings, as opposed to the smoked ham😊 thank you for this beautiful recipe 😋

[@cheryltanaka5885]

Those are some awesome greens, Camirra! My mouth is watering thinking of them and the pot liquor! Thank you!

[@mynellmolsby4930]

Yes ma’am 😊👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽Excellent tutorial on preparing collard greens, I would choose a different chicken seasoning option, like homemade chicken stock, I love that you used the suds soap to clean and rinsing the greens prior to cooking! Thank you for sharing. Happy Holidays!!!

[@BevCro09]

Also love pepper sauce in my bowl...omg yum.

[@juliejackson8894]

I enjoyed this video and I will make it 🤗💕

[@CamirrasKitchen]

Yay! Thank you!

[@sherylpatterson6022]

Thank you for the tutorial on washing and preparing the collard greens. We always say roll them up like a cigar!!!

[@CharlotteClark-fz4hh]

Your greens are gorgeous i love turnops and mustard greens together they're good also

[@frankdtank8732]

I'm definitely going to make it . I have mustard greens growing wild in my yard in Bermuda

[@juliejackson8894]

Thank you camirra

[@lisafaust4480]

Enjoyed your video and your cooking ❤

[@sheilabrown3885]

Yummy that looks delicious ❤

[@angelatruly]

Looks delish. Got to clean those greens! I use ham hocks and start them as you did in the pot. After open, I then add the greens and all into the instant pot and cook an additional 50 min. Take the bones, lg fat, and cut neat. Very good

[@Melanated_1]

Camirra, i’m ole now and have said idk how to cook collards. No wonder ppl kept looking at me like I was crazy! My mom just said “you just cook ‘em”. I never saw her from the beginning so I avoided cooking them. You made it so simple that I can do this too! And Amazon has a dish soap that is plant based with a plant base fragrance that would be great to those hesitant to use other soaps. It comes in a gallon container. Thanx again.

[@stepw8772]

Girl I don’t like greens but I would like to try those the look delicious

[@Ant1matter2]

Oh Lord my fav ever!!! Made like my Grandma!! Never have we used a soap to clean greens...

[@CamirrasKitchen]

try it! sal suds is excellent to clean greens!

[@nataliemscrzysxycoolharris]

Hey Camirra 🤗 Those greens can be filthy coming from the store too! Actually they’re worse. I take a veggie brush to mine. Cooking greens is a process for me. I use my crockpot for smoked turkey to create a tasty pot liquor for the greens. Gotta have about 2 baseball size onions…one cooks with the smoked turkey. The other goes in when the greens go in the next day.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

a veggies brush is a great method!

[@SweetChicagoGator]

Clean greens yummy with honey. Can I also add turnip greens to this recipe? TFS Camirra ! 💟

[@CamirrasKitchen]

yes you can!

[@holdthelight11]

You are my favorite!

[@BevCro09]

Wow ! 🔥❤ Thats nearly exactly how Ive done mine for years! People trip cuz Im a white girl 🤭 Every work potluck they want my greens. I have never brought any home. I make a large pot full. They fight over the pot liquor lol. I love you!!🎉

[@naphiesacox]

The soap scares me old school is ok for me.

[@janeking4059]

Same...

[@rsmith1820]

Just because the salt is dissolved doesn't mean it's not present & because it's not felt on human skin doesn't mean it's not abrasive. The point of salt is two fold. It causes any insects to "drown" because excess water is forced into the body, they & loosen their grip off of the leaves. The salt also forces any impurities out of the leaves. SOAP I'M NOT EATING. But to each her own.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

you dont eat the soap. it honestly no differnt as how ppl can use a veggies wash to clean apples or fruit. but everyone can clean their veggies the way they want. at the end of the say it going to get clean

[@CamirrasKitchen]

sure do whatever you are comfotable with :)

[@pamelajefferies3197]

@@CamirrasKitchenDrBronner products are amazing

[@swaronn]

I really enjoy your videos. I will definitely try this recipe out this thanksgiving. I could imagine how good your holiday meals are. If you invited me over for dinner I would probably lick the dish, ask for seconds, and bring my own containers to take home. Good luck with your channel. I hope you reach a million subscribers.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

I'm so glad you love me videos! hahah! you are funny! thanks for the encouragement! my mom makes me cook most of the food now a days for Thanksgiving 😂One day I pray to get a million subs 🙌❤

[@cleggett3410]

All the time 👌

[@latikaosby8165]

I put all kind season in my greens I use smoke ham hocks

[@naphiesacox]

Have you ever tried broccoli greens it is so good with collard greens. My mother tried it together last Christmas with us.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

i have! i love broccoli greens. When i grow broccoli i used them

[@latikaosby8165]

Yummy

[@johnniepaul685]

Salt is used to kill the bugs

[@everythingtaj1]

Hey cousin! Those look good. I just rip my greens up rather than cut. That’s just the country way I was taught but it also helps tenderize the greens bruising them a little bit, especially when you’re making a thanksgiving sized pot. Any tips for keeping pests away from and eating your greens?

[@Kiki-AndBeyond]

I always use a small amount of soap to clean my greens.

[@JanetGregory-fj1pm]

Good evening

[@lefty7510]

Um Um Um Um Um!😋

[@walterwynn3562]

Love dem..

[@cathycalloway5383]

I put my green back in the instant pot pressure for 8 minutes, natural release for a few minutes than quick release

[@daniellealexander7872]

This might make kale edible! Going to try it the next time kale shows up in my Grey Bear bag.

[@OTCS]

The salt bath is not necessary for cleaning but to kill the bugs.

[@AliciaJonestv]

Is there a way you can link the wash you used for the greens?

[@CamirrasKitchen]

amzn.to/3Yu29aB you can also get it from whole foods or target

[@alwaysjale]

I don’t add onions to my greens but the prep work with destemming, 1/2in ribbons and bacon is the same

[@snoopwillpac]

Oh and can u do cabbage the same way??? Can i jus get one bowl that shit look so 🔥 😢❤

[@CamirrasKitchen]

yes you can do cabbage the same way. but reduce the cook time b/c cabbage cook quicker.

[@pamelajefferies3197]

I have never seen that Dr. Bronner soap . I have been using Dr Bronner for at least 25 years . I met his son in Milwaukee Wisconsin . That has absolutely nothing to do about Greens and smoked meat. I am going to buy that cleaner . What store did you get it at ? ❤ thank you for sharing

[@CamirrasKitchen]

i got mine from thrive market, but its at whole foods and target. for some reason its limited on amazon

[@pamelajefferies3197]

@ I will swing by whole foods

[@pamelajefferies3197]

@ I don’t think we have a thrive market in Knoxville

[@CamirrasKitchen]

and its on sale at my whole foods right now! might be at yours too

[@DoloresHuffman-v7r]

No detergent for me. Just the old time way is good.

[@walterwynn3562]

Can you cook them in a pressure cooker...

[@CamirrasKitchen]

you can, but i don't because garden greens too tender for pressure cooker. but the tougher ones i get in the store i have done it before

[@walterwynn3562]

@CamirrasKitchen thanks

[@lawerencekirkland3686]

Sis law ,bro law has already invited me over for Thanksgiving he said he knew I was coming anyway hahaha

you know i'll have a plate for you ready

[@angelahackworth4802]

You so crazy. Yeah, it actually reminds me of someone rolling them collard greens like weed! 💕💕💕☺️☺️☺️

[@frankiepaige7647]

Some people use baking soda to clean the greens

[@NatalieWormely]

What kind of pot is that

[@pamelajefferies3197]

The pot on the stove looks like Hexclad .

[@CamirrasKitchen]

hexclad. i linked it in the description

[@pamelajefferies3197]

@@CamirrasKitchen I am good lol to guess that ! lol I just bought the 6 piece Skillet ( pan ) set for my daughter in law for Christmas. I want to get the flat skillet for pancakes lol and the round one you were using today with the dome lid . Are you happy with them ?

[@CamirrasKitchen]

i have this pot and a 12 in skillet. i have been very happy with them! they clean easy and work for my cooking needs. they are not the best eggs pans, but for general cooking, searing, etc i love them

[@pamelajefferies3197]

@ just last night my DIL said she just wants to be able to fry and egg that comes out nice . That is a little disappointing. Don’t you have to clean them like cast iron cookware?

I hate collard greens in water or stock. My mom fries fatback and cooks the greens in those. So much better. Unhealthy, but delicious.

[@CamirrasKitchen]

i make my mustard and turnip green just like that! my mom would wilt them iin a tiny amount of water. then fry them in fatback and butter. omg sooo good!

[@Jazzy729]

@CamirrasKitchen ok good, it also takes my mom a whole evening to clean her greens and then she'll make them the next day, I dont even really eat them anywhere else because I dont trust they're cleaning them the same way.

[@gldnglow]

I'm making those today with some curry chicken. ​@@CamirrasKitchen

Delicious looking pot of collards❤

[@pamelajefferies3197]

lol you all know what you beeeee rolling lol

[@CamirrasKitchen]

👀😂

[@besslee7905]

Now I'm not washing my greens with soap. I buy my collard greens cut and clean. Bacteria on your bare hands and in sink are probably more than on the greens. But, if it makes you happy. Great!

[@CamirrasKitchen]

these greens werent bought. they were from a garden and need good cleaning. ppl use veggie wash to clean fruit. its the same concept

[@lipamanka]

I wonder how this compares to etheopian collard greens....

[@janeking4059]

That bullion thing is not my thing...I try to stay away from prepackaged ingredients/foods as much as I can...LOTS OF SUGAR SALT SOYA SAUCE AND MSG etc... I don't care how safe to tell you that soup thing is for your food. No soap thing is for your dishes and clothes, not food I'm sure as there's some sort of poisonous chemical in there that they would not list on the label

[@CamirrasKitchen]

i encourage ppl to do whatever they feel comfortable doing.

[@Melanated_1]

Y’all notice bacon doesn’t render fat like it use to? Dang shame gotta buy bacon fat!

[@besslee7905]

I bet you have had things in your mouth nastier than fresh Collard Greens 😂. No way I'll use soap on my greens.
