Prep: 5 minutes

StoveTop: 20 minutes 

Makes: 4 servings

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 bunch collard green leaves, thick stem removed, then sliced into 1/4 inch strips 

  • ½ onion, thinly sliced 

  • 1 clove garlic, finely chopped or 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional) 

  • 2 apples, seeds removed, and sliced into matchsticks.

  • 1 tablespoons olive or other neutral cooking oil such as canola, vegetable or corn

  • 1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place olive oil in the pan and heat on medium high. Once the oil shimmers and moves quickly in the pan carefully add the onion saute for 3-4 minutes until it is soft and begins to brown, stirring occasionally.

  2. Add in the collard greens and garlic (optional) and let cook until they are bright green and wilted, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. 

  3. Add in the sliced apple, water or broth, and vinegar (optional) and let cook for an additional 5 minutes stirring constantly until there is little liquid left in the pan.

  4. Remove the pan from the heat and serve it alongside rice and beans, on top of cooked pasta, as a side with a protein or enjoy by itself!
