Cooking Instructions

1

Prepare the Collard Greens

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

2

Sauté the Aromatics

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

3

Cook the Collard Greens

Add the chopped collard greens to the pot and stir to combine with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, and season with red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes, or until the greens are tender.

4

Finish and Serve

Once the collard greens are cooked, stir in the apple cider vinegar. Adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm as a side dish.
