Greens Recipe

Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Vegetables

   Wash the collard greens and spinach thoroughly under cold water. Remove the stems from the collard greens and chop them into bite-sized pieces. Roughly chop the spinach.

2. 2

   Sauté the Aromatics

   In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3. 3

   Cook the Greens

   Add the collard greens to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cover the skillet and let the greens cook for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.

4. 4

   Finish with Spinach

   Once the collard greens are tender, add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir to combine and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted.

5. 5

   Serve

   Remove from heat and serve the greens warm as a side dish to the Liberian Rice Tings.
