Collard Greens w/ Browned Onions

One of my favorite recipes. It was popular w/ the greens-eaters at our Thanksgiving dinner.

1. Thoroughly wash, remove coarse stalks & slice into fine ribbons:

  • 1 lb collard greens

2. In a large pot, heat over medium-high flame:

  • ¼ c olive/mustard oil

3. When oil is hot, stir fry until medium brown color:

  • 2 medium onions, peeled & diced

4. Add & stir fry for one minute:

  • 3 garlic cloves, peeled & finely diced
  • ½ - 1 tsp fresh ginger, peeled & finely chopped

5. Add & stir fry for one minute:

  • 1 small tomato (about ¼ cup), finely chopped

6. Add, stir to mix & bring to boil:

  • Collard greens
  • 2 c vegetable stock
  • 1¼ tsp salt
  • dash of cayenne pepper (to taste)

7. Cover & turn heat down to low. Cook to desired doneness. The original recipe calls for 1 – 1½ hours cook time. I prefer the greens tender but crunchy & bright green, so I cook them between 15-30 minutes.
