does anyone know a place where i can get collared greens in ottawa? i am interested in fresh that can be cooked at home, not a restaurant.

They look like swiss chard, flavour is not . Thick stalks, huge green leaves. By the way, there is no 'e' - Collard greens. I cut out the stalk and the leaf vein and boil the leaves for about 10 minutes (or longer) in salted water. The leaves don't get mushy, they keep a slightly chewy texture, they are mild and taste like artichokes. Some recipes call for salt pork added to the pot as well.
