Braised Collard Greens Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Collard Greens

   Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim the tough stems from the leaves and chop them 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 sauté for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Cook the Collard Greens

   Add the chopped collard greens to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the greens begin to wilt.

4. 4

   Add Broth and Seasoning

   Pour in the vegetable broth and add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

5. 5

   Braising the Greens

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the collard greens simmer for about 30-35 minutes, or until they are tender.

6. 6

   Finishing Touch

   Once the collard greens are tender, stir in the apple cider vinegar. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm.
