Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 bunch collard greens, washed and chopped
- 1 bunch kale, washed and chopped
- 1.5 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat and add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.
Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent and soft.
Introduce the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped collard greens and kale to the skillet, tossing to coat them evenly in the oil, butter, and aromatics.
Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, stirring to combine everything together.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper over the greens, ensuring even distribution.
Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low. Allow the greens to braise gently, stirring occasionally, for about 20 minutes or until they become tender and most of the liquid has evaporated.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to evaporate any remaining liquid, stirring frequently.
Taste the greens and adjust the seasoning if necessary before serving.
