Collard Greens Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Collard Greens

    Rinse the collard greens under cold water to remove any dirt or grit. 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 sauté for about 3-4 minutes until translucent. Then add minced garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.

  3. 3

    Cook the Greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the pot. Pour in the vegetable broth, and season with salt, black pepper, 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 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender.

  5. 5

    Finish and Serve

    Stir in the cider vinegar just before serving for a tangy flavor. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm.
