- In a large sauce pan or Dutch oven, heat 1-2 tablespoons of water over medium heat. Saute garlic 2-3 minutes.
- Add collard greens and stir. Add water a tablespoon or two at a time, and cook, covered, over medium heat for 12-15 minutes or until no longer bright green/bitter. (I typically use about 1/2 cup of water throughout the cooking. See notes.)
- When finished cooking, turn off heat. Add the vinegar and smoked paprika, stir well, and allow to rest, covered, 1-2 minutes.
- Check seasonings. Add sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste before serving.
Simple and Fresh Collard Greens

A lot of people are averse to trying dark leafy greens, believe me, I was too, as they were always described as "bitter". Now that I have had them though I love them, and only eat them like this (not fully cooked to sogginess or in soups). You get a lot of the flavor of the greens themselves and they make a great side dish to a "meat and potatoes" meal. You can substitute any mix of braising/dark leafy greens for the collards.

- Chop your greens into 1 inch strips that are no longer than 4 or 5 inches long (or you'll be getting a mouthful of stringy greens!). (I like to cut down the middle of the leaf and then put one half on top of the other and chop into strips).
- Rinse your greens (This is an important step! The water that stays on helps these cook to perfection).
- Heat your skillet to medium and spray or add oil, and garlic if wanted. Then just add your greens (these will shrink down a lot so you can do it in a small pan) and stir just until all greens have just turned bright green, usually not more than 3~ minutes.
- Turn up to medium-hot and fry for 30 more seconds or until greens are just tender.
- Toss with salt and pepper to taste (for this amount I usually use about 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper). Serve with your favorite entree :)!

- Dry the clean collards with a paper towel.
- Stack the greens on top of the other.
- Remove the tough large stem, the easiest way to do this is to cut a large, thin V in the stack of greens at the same time.
- Roll the greens in a tight narrow roll (like a fruit roll-up or cigar shape). Cut the collards into thin slices.
- Over medium heat add the oil to a large pot with a lid. Sauté the onion for 5 mins or until soft, but not browned. Add the garlic cloves and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.
- Add the vegetable broth and the vinegar to the pot. Deglaze the pan.
- Mix in the sweetener, red pepper flakes, and smoked salt.
- Over medium heat bring the broth mixture to a simmer and then turn down to low, add the collard greens and be sure to push them down into the liquid.
- Put the lid on and simmer for 1 hour until the greens are wilted and soft.
- We checked the greens every 20 minutes to make sure the liquid wasn't evaporating too fast since our stove cooks a little hot at times. Leave the lid off for a few mins to slightly cool the liquid if your greens are boiling and not simmering. Add more vegetable broth if needed or if you prefer your vegan Southern greens with lots of liquid.
