Method

Directions

1

Prepare the Collard Greens

Rinse the collard greens thoroughly under cold 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. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute until fragrant.

3

Add the Greens

Add the chopped collard greens to the pot, stirring to combine with the onion and garlic mixture.

4

Add Liquids and Seasonings

Pour in the vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, sugar, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine.

5

Braised Greens

Bring the mixture to a simmer, then cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for about 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the collard greens are tender.

6

Serve

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