Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Collard Greens

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

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Peel and chop the onion and garlic. Dice the red bell pepper.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion, garlic, and red bell pepper. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.

  2. 4

    Combine Ingredients in Slow Cooker

    Transfer the sautéed vegetables to a slow cooker. Add the chopped collard greens, vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, and sugar. Stir to combine well.

  3. 5

    Cook the Collard Greens

    Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Cook for 6-8 hours, or until the collard greens are tender and flavorful.

Serving

  1. 6

    Serve

    Once cooked, give the collard greens a good stir. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or vinegar if necessary. Serve hot as a side dish.
