Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Collard Greens

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

  2. 2

    Chop Vegetables

    Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic cloves. Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until the onion is translucent.

  2. 4

    Add Bell Pepper

    Stir in the diced red bell pepper and continue to cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

  3. 5

    Cook Collard Greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir well. Pour in the vegetable broth and coconut milk. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the collard greens cook for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.

  5. 7

    Taste and Adjust Seasoning

    Taste the collard greens and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt or pepper to taste.
