Sautéed Collard Greens

Recipe by The FruitGuys

INGREDIENTS

• One bunch fresh collard greens
• One tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup pine nuts
• One large onion, peeled and diced
• 1 cup vegetable or chicken broth
• One teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
• Two teaspoons salt

PREPARATION

1. Remove the tougher, woody stalks from the collard leaves.
2. Wash the leaves and cut them into half-inch-wide strips. (You can roll them into cigars to speed this up.)
3. Heat olive oil in a large frying pan, then add the onion and cook, occasionally stirring, until translucent but not brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Add the pine nuts and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes.
5. Add the collard greens and broth and simmer, covered, over medium heat until greens are cooked through (8 to 10 minutes).
6. Serve warm.

This recipe serves 3-4. Prep time, 10 minutes; cook time, 20-25 minutes.

Cook’s note: Delicious with beans and cornbread, or with rice.
