Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Wash and Prepare the Greens

    Thoroughly wash the collard greens under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems from the leaves and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the onion into small pieces, mince the garlic cloves, and chop the red bell pepper into small cubes.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, red bell pepper, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 5 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 4

    Add the Collard Greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir well to combine with the sautéed vegetables.

  3. 5

    Add Liquid and Seasoning

    Pour in the chicken broth and add salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Stir to combine all ingredients.

  4. 6

    Simmer the Collard Greens

    Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until the collard greens are tender.

  5. 7

    Serve

    Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish or over rice.
