Citrus Collards with Raisins

Citrus Collards with Raisins

I don't remember which recipe book we found this in but it's a good one. This is a nice dish to take with you to a party - no one will believe it's collards and it doesn't need to be refrigerated. It's also a nice way to serve greens for children as it's a little sweet and salty.

1 large bunch of collard greens

Coarse salt

½ tablespoon olive oil

1 garlic clove minced

1/3 cup raisins

2 medium oranges

Remove stems from greens. Roll and cut leaves into thin strips. Rinse. In large pot bring 3 quarts to boil with salt. Add greens, boil 10 minutes. Drain. In sauté pan sauté garlic for 30 for a minute. Add greens, raisins and a pinch of salt. Sauté for three minutes. Section oranges, add them to greens and heat them up for 30 seconds. Serve immediately or room temp.
