J'nene Wade makes two versions of this cool-weather side dish - one with Swiss chard, dried sour cherries, and pecans and this one, with collard greens, raisins, and pine nuts.
- 2 pounds collard greens
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 red onion (about 8 oz.) peeled, halved, and thinly slivered lengthwise
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons golden raisins
- 2 tablespoons pine nuts
- Salt and pepper
1. Rinse collard greens and tear leaves from center ribs; discard center ribs and stems.
2. Pour oil into a 12- to 14-inch frying pan over medium-high heat; when hot, add onion and garlic and stir frequently until onion is limp, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in balsamic vinegar, brown sugar, raisins, pine nuts, and collard greens. Stir frequently until greens are slightly wilted, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat, cover, and cook until greens are very wilted and tender to bite, about 15 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste; serve at once.
