Brazilian Style Collard Greens

I had some collard greens leftover from the soup I made for lunch and so went searching for a recipe to turn them into a side dish for dinner. Today was my first time cooking with collard greens and it will definitely not be my last! This recipe is adapted from one on the Whole Foods website.
