Something amazing happens when you simmer greens like collards and kale in a flavorful broth for a while, going way past tender to downright silky and luscious. Make this big-batch side and enjoy it all week long.

Ingredients

Olive oil

1 Tbsp

Uncooked onion

1 medium, thinly sliced

Low sodium vegetable broth

4 cup(s)

Table salt

1½ tsp

Smoked paprika

1½ tsp

Collard greens

1 pound(s), stemmed and coarsely chopped

Kale

1 pound(s), curly, stemmed and coarsely chopped

Instructions

  1. In a large Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot, heat the oil on medium-high. Add the onion and cook until golden, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  2. Stir in the stock, salt, and paprika. Bring to a boil over high heat. Stir in the collard greens. Reduce heat to medium. Cover and cook until the greens are wilted, about 5 minutes.
  3. Stir in the kale. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until the greens are very tender, 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
