Collard Greens Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

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

  3. 3

    Add the Collard Greens

    Stir in the chopped collard greens and cook for 2-3 minutes until they start to wilt.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Pour in the vegetable broth, add red pepper flakes, and bring to a simmer. Reduce heat to low, cover, and cook for 30-40 minutes until the greens are tender.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Serve hot as a side dish.
