Awesome! This was the first time I cooked collard greens. We really liked it. I "sauted" the onion, garlic & collard greens in low-sodium chicken boullion instead of olive oil. I also cooked the brown rice in chicken boullion. Delicious! Will definitely make again. - 2/14/12

I made this with kale instead of collards and without the red pepper flakes/balsamic vinegar (it isn't even mentioned when to add them in the recipe, but I didn't want to use either), and put it all in pita pockets, and it was very delicious. - 6/28/11
