Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the collards and cook 3-4 minutes until soft. Drain and immediately immerse in a bowl of ice water. Drain the greens after a few minutes. Pulse the pecans and garlic in a food processor until finely ground. Add the drained collards, cheese, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, and water and process until smooth. The pesto will be thick.
