This untraditional and relatively quick-cooking recipe for collards combines quick sautéing and a short pressure cook. The quick cooking means that you can have your greens in less than thirty minutes and I like the fresher flavor better as well! You can use collards, kale or mustard greens, or even a combination of all three.
