Collard Greens Recipe

Prepare the Collard Greens

Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the thick stems by slicing them off with a knife and then chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Chop the Vegetables

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until translucent. Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cook the Collard Greens

Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil.

Simmer

Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 30-35 minutes until the collard greens are tender.

Finish with Vinegar

Stir in the apple cider vinegar and adjust seasoning if necessary. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
