Braised Collard Greens ~
A savory Southern side dish made with fresh collard greens slow-simmered in a simply seasoned broth.
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 they actually go back for seconds!
Ingredients for Braised Collard Greens:
1 tablespooon olive oil
1/4 cup yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 pound fresh collard greens, stems removed, 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
