1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Remove the stems from the collard greens and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
2
Sauté Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
Cook the Collard Greens
Add the collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth and add the red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.
4
Simmer
Cover the pot and let the collard greens simmer for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender. Stir occasionally.
5
Season and Serve
Once the greens are tender, season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve warm as a side dish.
