1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Wash the collard greens thoroughly under running water. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3
Cook the Collard Greens
Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, then add the apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well.
4
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover and let simmer for about 45 minutes, or until the collard greens are tender.
5
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
