1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Rinse the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and central rib of each leaf, then chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Chop the Onion and Garlic
Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Peel the garlic cloves and mince them finely.

3
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
4
Cook the Collard Greens
Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir well to combine with the onion and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, then add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring the mixture to a boil.
5
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until the collard greens are tender.
6
Finish with Vinegar
After the greens are tender, stir in the apple cider vinegar. Adjust seasoning to taste and remove from heat.
