A simple, lighter, and very tasty version of Stewed Collard Greens. Great for the holiday table, or a Family Dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 bunch fresh collard greens (at least 8 cups)
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 1 medium tomato (seeded and chopped)
- 6 cloves fresh garlic (crushed)
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- ½ lemon (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar (or to taste)
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- Sea Salt and Ground Pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Clean the greens and strip the leaves from the stalks. Stack the leaves, 5 or 6 at a time, on top of one another, and roll like a cigar. Cut across the cigar to make thin strips.
- In a large pot, over medium heat, add the olive oil, salt, pepper, and chopped onion. Saute until onions are translucent.
- Add garlic, collard greens, broth, and cayenne. Simmer on medium low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure greens cook and stew evenly.
- Add lemon juice and vinegar, and cook another 15-20 minutes, until greens are tender.
- Add chopped tomato, and simmer for another 5 minutes, or, if you prefer, stir it in just before serving.
