1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp paprika
Frying oil
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- While on the heat, add apple cider vinegar, paprika, salt, and pepper to the pan, stir, then serve.
