3 step process, right out of Alton Brown's playbook:
step 1: 5-6 cloves garlic smashed with the side of the cleaver, so that they're broken and flat but still mostly in one piece. I cook these in the oil until they're browned on both sides, then I discard them. This flavors the oil.
step 2: 2-3 cloves sliced garlic, cooked until it only just starts to brown. Then I add the greens and cook until the greens are almost done. Don't let the garlic burn! Burned garlic is nobody's friend.
step 3: 1-3 cloves minced or pressed garlic added to the green about 30 seconds before you take the whole shebang off the fire. This adds some real garlicky bite. I like it, but if you're cooking for company or on a date or something, maybe you want to skip this step.
