This is a Southern rendition of a Steak House Classic Side Dish – CREAMED SPINACH.
We have swapped out the spinach for collard greens, which are generally a much sturdier green that has to be cooked for hours to make them tender.
Seeing that I am a 53 year old, and a mother to a 10 year old, with a full time job…..I don’t have time for that!!
So we’ve cut down the prep time time by buying shredded collard greens, with the majority of the stems removed already. These things boil up in 15-20 minutes depending on how tender you like them.
And then it’s basically just making a very simple, but tasty cream sauce to coat them in.
Creamed Collard Greens are a perfect side dish to any protein. Steak, Chicken, Pork….We have served them here with our Parmesan Crusted Chicken Schnitzel.
