Spicy African Collard Greens
Recipe Type: Side Dish
Ingredients
- Olive oil spray
- 2 pounds collard greens, washed and cut into thin strips
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 3 garlic cloves, chopped
- 1/2 cup no-salt-added chicken broth
- 1 fresh jalapeno, seeded and chopped
- 5 green onions, chopped
- 1 cup hot water
- 1/2 teaspoon cayenne, or to taste
- 1 teaspoon cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon coriander
Instructions
- Spritz a 6-quart stockpot with the olive oil spray and heat over a medium-high setting.
- Add the chopped yellow onions and garlic.
- Saute until the onion is caramelized, about 5 minutes, adding small amounts of broth for moisture as needed.
- Stir in the jalapeno and green onions.
- Add the greens to the stockpot and mix well.
- Stir in the hot water and dried spices.
- Partially cover and reduce the heat to low, simmering until the greens are tender; about 45 minutes to 1 hour. (Add small amounts of hot water if needed to keep the greens from becoming dry.)
For most tender greens, remove the center vein of each leaf before slicing.
