Collard Greens Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Sauté Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Collard Greens

    Stir in the chopped collard greens and cook for about 2-3 minutes until they start to wilt.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasoning

    Pour in the vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Stir well, and season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the collard greens are tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve hot as a side dish.
