Step 1: Stack the leaves placing the largest ones on the bottom of the pile. I’ve removed the stems but you can keep the thinner stems in, if you prefer.
Step 2: Roll the greens into a tight roll, being careful to tuck all leaves inside. The final roll should look like a fat cigar.
Step 3: Hold the roll firmly against the cutting board. Use the knife to slice through the collards creating thin strips. Get the full guide and recipes at marisamoore.com.

Remember: For uniform cooking, slice your greens into evenly-sized ribbons.
