Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Collard Greens

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Garlic

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Add the Chili Paste

    Stir in the Calabrian chili paste and cook for an additional minute, allowing the flavors to meld.

  4. 4

    Cook the Collard Greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the skillet and stir to coat them with the oil and chili mixture. Pour in the vegetable broth, cover, and let simmer for about 10-15 minutes until the greens are tender.

  5. 5

    Season and Serve

    Once the collard greens are tender, stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste and serve warm.
