Main Ingredients
Method
Preparation
Wash and Prepare Collard Greens
Thoroughly wash the collard greens under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Sauté Aromatics
In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Cooking
Add Liquid and Seasonings
Pour in the vegetable broth and add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients.
Simmer
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Cover and let cook for about 25 minutes, or until the collard greens are tender, stirring occasionally.
Finish with Lemon Juice
Once the collard greens are tender, remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice. Adjust seasoning to taste if necessary.
