Southern Braised Greens Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the greens

   Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Sauté the aromatics

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Cook the greens

   Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth and bring to a simmer. Cover and cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the greens are tender.

4. 4

   Season the dish

   Once the greens are tender, stir in the apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. 5

   Serve

   Serve the braised greens warm as a side dish or over rice for a hearty meal.
