1
Prepare the Collard Greens
Rinse the collard greens thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or grit. Trim the stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
2
Sauté Aromatics
In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.
3
Cook the Collard Greens
Add the chopped collard greens to the skillet. Stir to coat with the oil and sauté for a few minutes until they begin to wilt.
4
Add Broth and Seasonings
Pour in the vegetable broth, and add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a simmer.
5
Simmer
Reduce the heat to low, cover, and let the collard greens simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.
6
Serve
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish.
