Collard Greens Recipe

Collard Greens Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Collard Greens

   Start by rinsing the collard greens under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Sauté Garlic and Onion

   In a large pot, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add Collard Greens

   Once the garlic is fragrant, add the chopped collard greens to the pot. Stir well to coat the greens with the oil and onion mixture.

4. 4

   Pour in Broth and Seasonings

   Pour 2 cups of chicken or vegetable broth into the pot. Add 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir to combine.

5. 5

   Simmer the Greens

   Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the collard greens are tender.

6. 6

   Add Vinegar and Serve

   Once the collard greens are tender, remove the pot from heat. Stir in 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar for added flavor. Serve warm as a side dish.
