This recipe was amazing!! I was roasting corn at the same time so I toasted the almond slivers on a dry pan. It may have been more like 10 minutes that I sautéed them, but wasn't bad. It was even better the next day.

On what planet can you saute collards until they are edible in 6-8 minute? I tried this recipe and after 45 minutes they were still not tender. I "steamed" them by adding water to the pan. 10 minutes later - still not ready. Finally ended up boiling them. Same nasty collards. Seems like you should beta test a recipe before posting it.
