Cooking Instructions

  1. 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. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  3. 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 and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Add Seasonings

    Stir in the apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cover the pot and let the greens cook for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

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