Delicious Southern Collard Greens
These collard greens are not only quick to make, but they also boast a deep, savory taste that pairs perfectly with any meal. Let’s get started!
### Ingredients:
- 2 pounds fresh collard greens, trimmed and chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 onion, chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups vegetable broth (or chicken broth for non-vegetarian version)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Optional: Red pepper flakes for heat
Instructions:
- Start by washing the collard greens thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt. After cleaning, trim the stems and chop the leaves into manageable pieces.
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it’s soft and translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic to the pot and continue to sauté for another minute or until fragrant.
- Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and bring to a gentle boil. Stir in the salt and pepper.
- Add the chopped collard greens to the pot, making sure they are submerged in the liquid. If needed, you can add more broth or water to ensure they’re covered.
- Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Let the greens simmer for about 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and flavorful.
- Once the greens are cooked, remove them from heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. If you like a bit of heat, sprinkle some red pepper flakes to taste.
- Your delicious Southern collard greens are now ready to be served! Enjoy them as a side dish or mix them with other ingredients for a hearty main.
These collard greens are not just a dish, they’re a tradition. Enjoy every bite!
