Method
1. Holding onto the stem with one hand , wrap your other hand around the stem and pull down--this takes off the large part of the stem. After you have done a few of these , roll the leaves and chop. (there are youtube videos on how to do this ie here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvfkdnEoxT4)
2. Place chopped onion, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt and sugar in a large pot and cover with water. Cook for 3-4 minutes.

3. Add the greens and add a bit more water. Steam for 10-20 minutes stirring occasionally to blend flavors. (If the collards are really huge tough ones you may have to cook longer).
