Directions

  • Coat a pot with vegetable oil.
  • Sauté onions until almost tender over medium heat and then add in garlic.
  • Cook until onion and garlic are fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Add in vegetable broth.
  • Season broth with smoked salt and red pepper flakes.
  • Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed. Make sure it’s to your liking because this is how your greens will taste.
  • Bring to a simmer and reduce heat.
  • Add in the greens. Greens will wilt as they cook.
  • Simmer for 1 hour to 90 minutes. Do not boil. Add more vegetable broth if needed.
    • It may need more or less time, so be sure to check them after 30-45 minutes.
    • When done, greens will be dark green, tender and will not have a raw taste.
  • Add in more smoked salt, black pepper, red pepper flakes, vinegar and hot sauce, if desired.
  • Enjoy!
