Southern Style Collard Greens

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb collard greens
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1/4 cup finely diced onions
  • 1 tsp minced garlic
  • 2 cups chicken or veggie broth
  • 1 tsp white vinegar
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup cooked, chopped ham or turkey

Instructions
 

  • Wash collards really well. Chop roughly.
  • Destem the leaves- fold in half and remove the center with a knife, or tear the leaves from the stem.
  • In a large pot, heat olive oil. Sauté onions until tender.
  • Add garlic and stir until fragrant.
  • Add broth and meat and bring to a boil.
  • Add collard greens, reduce heat to a simmer.
  • Cover and cook collard greens for 1-2 hours, checking and stirring. You want them soft, but not falling apart.
  • When done, add vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. You can also add some red pepper flakes if desired.
