Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams collard greens
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 1 medium onion
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Instructions
Wash and dry the collard greens thoroughly. Remove the thick stems and stack the leaves. Roll them together tightly and slice thinly, creating long strips.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel the onion and chop it finely.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
Add the sliced collard greens to the skillet. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the collard greens for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just tender and bright green.
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the cooked collard greens. Toss gently to combine.
Serve hot as a delicious keto-friendly side dish.
