Braised Greens Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Greens

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

  2. 2

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned.

  3. 3

    Add Greens & Broth

    Add the chopped collard greens to the pot, followed by the vegetable broth. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Season

    Add red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir again to mix the seasonings throughout the greens.

  5. 5

    Braised Cooking

    Cover the pot and let the greens braise over low to medium heat for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.

  6. 6

    Finish & Serve

    Once the greens are tender, remove them from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
