Collard Greens Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Collard Greens

    Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, making sure not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Cook the Greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

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

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Once the greens are tender, season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Stir well and serve hot.
