Preparation

Preparation

1. Prepare the Greens

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

2. Chop the Aromatics

Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.

Cooking

3. Sauté the Aromatics

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

4. Add the Greens

Stir in the chopped kale and collard greens into the pot. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens begin to wilt.

5. Add Liquid and Seasoning

Pour in the vegetable broth and add the apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

6. Braised Cooking

Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let it cook for about 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender and flavors are well blended.

Serving

7. Serve

Remove the pot from heat. Taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve the braised kale and collards warm as a side dish or over rice as a main dish.
