Low(Er) Fat Collard Greens

"Collard greens are very high in fiber, thiamin, niacin, Vitamins A, C, E, and K, folate, potassium, calcium and manganese. Unfortunately, when they're cooked with salt pork, lard, or other fats the nutritional content just flies out the window. This is my lower fat version."
