Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the collard greens

    Rinse 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. 2

    Sauté the aromatics

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the collard greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
