Description

Collard greens are a staple at our Thanksgiving. However, you can make this all year.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds of collard greens
  • 8 cups (2 large boxes) of vegetable broth
  • 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
  • 1 tsp of crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp vinegar
  • 2 tbsp of olive oil
  • Salt and pepper for taste

Instructions

  1. Prep collard greens by removing the stems, washing them throughly in water and roughly chop.
  2. In large pot, like a Dutch oven, heat oil over medium high heat.
  3. Add onions and cook for 2-3 mins until tender.
  4. Add vegetable broth, vinegar, garlic powder, crushed red peppers and salt and pepper and stir.
  5. Next, add collard greens in batches. The heat will cook them down slowly. Take your time and stir occasionally until they’re all in the pot.
  6. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to a simmer and cover for 45 minutes or until tender. Stir occasionally.
  7. Once cooked, taste and add additional salt and pepper as needed.
