Ingredients

  • 1. A drizzle of fragrant olive oil
  • 2. Minced garlic cloves for a burst of flavor
  • 3. Fresh collard greens, washed, trimmed, and finely chopped
  • 4. A generous pour of vegetable broth
  • 5. A hint of savory soy sauce
  • 6. A touch of aromatic sesame oil

Step 1

Begin by heating up some oil in a generously-sized pan set over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic and cook until it releases its delightful aroma, typically taking about a minute. Next, add the collards to the pan, giving them a good toss to ensure they are nicely coated with oil. Proceed by pouring in the broth and soy sauce, then cover the pan and lower the heat. Allow the collards to steam gently until they reach a tender state, remembering to give them a turn every few minutes, usually around 7 to 8 minutes in total. Once cooked through, remove the pan from the heat and finish off by drizzling a touch of sesame oil over the collards. Serve and enjoy this flavorful dish.
