A plant-based source of calcium and iron, collard greens are a nutritional marvel packed with vitamins C, A, E, and K. Pair collard greens with creamy white beans for protein and you have a vegan dish that’s perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner (or even a snack).

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 Tbsp

Uncooked onion

1 medium, thinly sliced

Crushed red pepper flakes

½ tsp

Garlic

4 clove(s), finely chopped

Low sodium vegetable broth

4 cup(s)

Carrots

3 medium, thinly sliced

Bay leaf

2 leaf/leaves, large

Kosher salt

¾ tsp

Collard greens

8 cup(s), chopped, coarsely chopped (about 12 oz)

Canned cannellini beans

30 oz, rinsed and drained

Instructions

  1. In a Dutch oven, heat the oil on medium. Add the onion and red pepper and cook until the onion is golden, 5 to 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
  2. Stir in the stock, carrots, bay leaves, and salt. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the collard greens and return to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover and cook until the collards are tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
  3. Stir in the beans. Cook, uncovered, over medium heat until the beans are heated through, about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves. Divide the stew among 6 bowls.
  4. Serving size: 1⅓ cups stew
