Quick Cooking Collard Greens
Quick and Collard Green don't normally go together. Did you know you can saute collard greens quickly like other greens such as kale and swiss chard? Well you can and it's one of our favorite side dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 bunches collard greens stems removed and the leaves cut into thick ribbons and washed
- 1/2 C chicken stock
- 1/4 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- In a large Dutch oven or stock pot, heat 1 tbsp olive oil over medium heat.
- Once oil is hot and shimmering add in the washed collard greens. Let the greens cook for a minute or two stirring with tongs.
- Add in spices and stock. Put the lid on the pot and cook for about five minutes. Leaves will still be crisp but should have softened significantly and released a lot of their liquid.
- Add collards to a serving bowl and serve warm. We like to top them with our favorite vinegar pepper sauce.
