Powered byPreparation
- Step 1
Heat the oil in a large saucepan. Cut the sausage into 2-inch pieces, add them to the pan, and brown over medium heat, covered, for about 5 minutes. Add the onions and carrots to the saucepan, and cook the mixture, covered, for 2 minutes.
- Step 2
Meanwhile, cut the collard greens into 2-inch pieces, and wash them in a bowl of cold water. Lift the greens from the water, and add them, still wet, to the saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium to high heat for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until greens are wilted. Reduce the heat to low, and add the soy sauce and salt. Cover tightly, and cook over very low heat for about 45 minutes, until the greens are tender and most of the liquid is gone.
- Step 3
Divide sausage and greens among six plates; serve immediately.

This is a really tasty way to make collard greens an important part of a main dish. We found cutting the sausage into smaller pieces worked better and since chorizo is pretty hot, would use sweet or hot Italian sausage next time. Definitely needs rice or some kind of grain to go either under it or with it.

I couldn't find Spanish chorizo but ground pork (Mexican) chorizo is in abundance so I used that instead and it is a delicious alternative. I cooked the chorizo, drained slightly then followed the recipe. The chorizo adds a terrific spiciness to the dish. I reheated leftovers in a large skillet with a little water then nestled 6 eggs in the vegetables, covered and cooked over medium heat for about 5 minutes until the whites were set. I would have sprinkled with cotija cheese if I'd had it.

Simmered some potatoes in water until tender and then added to the pan with the sausage and other vegetables. Used chard instead of collard greens. Want to try it with collard greens when I have them. This is a very tasty dish.

Tastey! Halved recipe and got 4 good servings. Used up last of uncooked leftover collard greens from veggie mart. Stretched greens to 1 lb using .5 lb pak choy, leaves & stalk of 1 mature Celtuce. Radish tops or other strong greens would work well too! Was fine with a nice salad. Found excellent locally made Spanish Chorizo at La Aurora Latin Market (Gainesville, Florida).

This was excellent, easy. I agree with the notes about cutting the chorizo and veggies in smaller pieces and adding a bit of red wine vinegar at the end. Great served over white beans, rice or a puree of veggies (potatoes, leeks, etc.).

This is a terrific one pot meal. Easy to put together, nice amount of vegetable content, well rounded and digests well. This inspires my interest in slow cooking.

Add a little vinegar if collards are bitter.

Easy and delicious. I did not have carrots but did have baby turnips and they complimented the collards nicely.

I made this with Beyond Meat sausages and a side of cheese grits - so simple and so delicious!
Liz
I blanched the greens and chopped the other vegetables finer because I was short on time. The next time I will leave the veggies larger because they really did cook down. But this was super tasty!!

Kessler's hot smoked sausage, frozen chopped collard greens, Royal Blend white, brown, wild, red rice mix underneath. ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS.

I did a couple things, used Andouille sausage instead, added some great northern beans (not sure why exactly just seemed like a thing to do). Served over couscous. Quite tasty.
