1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Chop the Onion and Garlic
Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

3
Sauté the Onion and Garlic
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 sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.
4
Add the Collard Greens
Stir in the chopped collard greens into the pot with the sautéed onion and garlic. Cook for about 2 minutes until the greens start to wilt.
5
Add Broth and Seasonings
Pour in the chicken broth (or vegetable broth) and add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
6
Simmer the Greens
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30 minutes or until the collard greens are tender.
7
Serve
Once the collard greens are tender, taste and adjust seasonings if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
