Ingredients
- 2 large bunches collard greens pulled from stems and chopped
- 5 dried Chile peppers or smoked meat for non-Vegan option
- 1 yellow onion thinly sliced
- Pinch red pepper flakes
- 1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 cups low-sodium vegetable broth or homemade
- 1 cup white wine Riesling or gewurztraminer
- ¼ cup cider vinegar
- 1 tablespoon smoked sweet paprika
- Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
- Cut and trim the collard greens removing the tough stems. Roughly chop the trimmed greens into ½-inch ribbons.
Instructions
- Heat the dried chiles in a large skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 2-3 minutes. Reduce heat and add oil to allow the chiles to infuse oil with smokiness.
- Add the onions, garlic, paprika, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes to the same skillet. Add more oil if necessary. Saute until the onions are softened, fragrant and beginning to brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the chiles.
- Add the collard greens, stirring constantly until softened and all leaves coated well. Pour in the broth and wine and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover and cook until the greens are tender, about 30 minutes.
- Once the greens are tender add the vinegar and season more with salt and pepper.
Notes
Don't forget to remove the dried chiles otherwise, they will dissolve in your broth and leave your greens spicy AF!
The smaller you cut the collards, the faster they cook. This is important as traditional methods call for long cook times to eliminate the bitterness.
Use a sweeter wine like a Riesling or German Gewurztraminer. Cooking will concentrate their sweetness and help offset the bitterness you get with the shorter cooking time.
If you choose a non-vegan route, use a leaner meat like smoked turkey. Saute in the initial step and add back into the broth during the finishing steps
