1
Prepare the Collards
Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water. Remove the thick stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and chopped onion, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.
3
Cook the Collards
Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir. Pour in the vegetable broth, then add red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
4
Simmer
Cover the pot and let the collards simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally until they are tender.
5
Finish and Serve
Stir in lemon juice before serving. Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if desired. Serve warm.
