How this works
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil
- 2 medium red or yellow onions, chopped (1½ cups)
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic (3 large cloves)
- Leaves from 1 lb. collard greens, cut crosswise into 1-inch strips (about 5 cups or 8 oz.)
- Kosher salt
- Injera or another flatbread, for serving
Instructions
- Wash the greens in various changes of cold water. Trim the fibrous stems and, if desired, the tough center vein. Cut the leaves crossways into strips 1 inch (2.5 cm) wide. There should be about 9 oz (250 g) of washed greens.
- Place a large sauté pan or wide saucepan over medium-low heat, add the oil and onions, and cook for about 10 minutes until soft and translucent. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook for about 1 minute until aromatic.
- Begin working in the greens, stirring from the bottom upwards to incorporate them into the onions. Season with salt, then tightly cover the pan and cook for 20-30 minutes until tender. Add a touch of water if needed to keep it from scorching. Serve.
