Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

    Wash the kale and collard greens thoroughly under cold water. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot or skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until they are softened and fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add Greens

    Add the chopped kale and collard greens to the pot. Stir well to coat the greens in the oil and aromatics.

  4. 4

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth, and add red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

  5. 5

    Braised Cooking

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let the greens braise for about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and flavorful.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish or over grains.
