In another pot, non stick, add 4 tbs of olive oil and add the Collard Greens a bunch at a time, cook on medium heat, tossing to coat, continuing adding a small handful until all greens are coated and cooked. Saute for 10 minutes and add the garlic and tomatoes and lemon juice. Stir and continue cooking for additional 5 minutes.

I use oregano and fresh basil as herbs, with a dash of crushed red pepper flakes to make it spicy.
