Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Collard Greens

    Wash the collard greens thoroughly to remove any 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 until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another minute.

  3. 3

    Cook the Collard Greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the pot. Stir to combine with the onion and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, and add salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Slow Cook

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the collard greens to simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.

  5. 5

    Finish with Vinegar

    Once the collard greens are cooked to your liking, stir in the apple cider vinegar. Adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
