Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Collard Greens

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

  2. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent.

    Cook the Greens

    Add the chopped collard greens to the pot, stirring to combine with the onions and garlic. Pour in the vegetable broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer.

    Season and Simmer

    Stir in the apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Cover the pot and let the greens simmer for about 30 minutes, or until they are tender.

    Once cooked, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve the collard greens warm as a side dish.
