Easy Collard Greens Recipe
I’ve used the same recipe for collard greens for a few years now and the result is always fantastic. Even my boys who used to turn their noses up at greens now like these so much that they actually go back for seconds!
Ingredients for Braised Collard Greens
You will need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh collard greens, stems removed, and leaves roughly chopped
3 cups vegan chicken-style broth
1 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste
How to Make Braised Collard Greens
STEP ONE: Into a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil. When the oil is hot, add the onion. Cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes, until softened. Add garlic, and cook for an additional 30 seconds.
STEP TWO: Add the collard greens. Cook, stirring frequently for 3 minutes, until beginning to wilt.
STEP THREE: Add the broth, salt, ground black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 45 minutes then serve hot.
