Method
Preparation
Prepare the Collards
Wash the collard greens thoroughly under running water to remove any grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Cooking
Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pot, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook for an additional minute.
Combine Ingredients
Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Once boiling, add the chopped collard greens and reduce the heat to a simmer.
Simmer the Collards
Cover the pot and let the collards simmer for 45 minutes to 1 hour, or until tender. Stir occasionally and add water if needed.
Season and Serve
Once the collards are tender, remove the meat from the pot, shred it, and return it to the collards. Stir in the apple cider vinegar, and season with salt and black pepper to taste before serving.
