Cabbage & Collard Greens Recipe

Wash Collard Greens

Begin by washing the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. Pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Chop Collard Greens

Remove the stems from the collard greens and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Prepare Cabbage

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut the cabbage into quarters. Remove the core and chop the cabbage into thin strips.

Chop Onion

Peel and chop the onion into small pieces.

Mince Garlic

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.

Sauté Onion

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

Add Garlic

Add the minced garlic to the pot and sauté for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Cook Greens and Cabbage

Stir in the chopped cabbage and collard greens, and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until they begin to wilt.

Simmer with Broth

Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover, and let simmer for 30-35 minutes until the greens are tender.

Season to Taste

Season the dish with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Stir well and adjust seasoning to taste.

Serve

Serve the cabbage and collard greens hot as a side dish or over rice for a hearty meal.
