1
Wash and Prepare Collard Greens
Thoroughly wash the collard greens under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Chop Onions and Garlic
Peel and chop the onion into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

3
Sauté Onions and Garlic
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Then add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute.
4
Add Collard Greens
Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the onion and garlic.
5
Pour in Broth and Season
Pour in the vegetable broth and add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.
6
Simmer the Collard Greens
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let it simmer for about 30-40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the collard greens are tender.
7
Finish with Vinegar
Once the collard greens are tender, remove them from heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar for added flavor.
