Ingredients

Scale

10 oz collard greens (or 280 g)

2 minced garlic cloves

1 cup chopped onion (or 150 g)

1 tsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp paprika

Frying oil

Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Remove the thick central ribs of the collards, stack them up and roll into a sausage-like shape. Slice thinly to form strands then chop into even smaller pieces.
  2. Heat oil in a large frying pan over medium heat, then add the collards and cook for up to 6 minutes, stirring frequently. The cooking time will vary depending on how well done you like them.
  3. A few minutes before the collards are done, add the onion to the pan and sauté until softened. Then add the garlic and sauté for 1 minute.
  4. While on the heat, add apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper to the pan, stir, then serve.
