Collier Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Wash and Prepare 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 Onions and Garlic

   In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.

3. 3

   Add Collard Greens

   Add the prepared collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic.

4. 4

   Add Liquid and Seasonings

   Pour in the vegetable broth and add the apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes if using. If you are adding smoked turkey or ham hock for flavor, add it now.

5. 5

   Simmer

   Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and let it simmer for 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the collard greens are tender.

6. 6

   Adjust Seasoning

   Taste the collard greens and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or vinegar as desired before serving.
