Our traditional collard green recipe is great - this recipe has the same great flavors in a fraction of the time it takes to make the other one!

Ingredients
  • 1 large bunch collard greens

  • Salt
  • Ground black pepper
  • ¼ cup chicken broth
Instructions
  1. Wash the collard greens thoroughly. Remove the stems that run down the center.
  2. The tender young leaves in the heart of the collards don’t need to be stripped.
  3. Stack 6 to 8 leaves on top of one another, roll up, and slice into ½" thick slices.
  4. Heat a large saute pan over medium high heat and add the olive oil.
  5. Once hot, add the garlic and red pepper flakes and saute until fragrant.
  6. Add the collard greens, and saute until bright green (approx. 4 minutes).
