Step 1
Start by filling a large pot halfway with water, then add the vinegar, seafood seasoning, and a good drizzle of olive oil. Bring everything to a boil. Once the water is bubbling, toss in the collard greens, jalapeno peppers, and garlic. Let it come back to a boil, then cover the pot and turn the heat down to medium-low. Let it simmer gently for about 3 to 4 hours, or until the greens are super tender. When they're ready, drain out the water and mash the garlic cloves into the greens. Give everything a good stir and season with salt and pepper to taste.
