Makes four servings

Ingredients:

• 2 large bunches of collard greens, rinsed well
• 1 small onion, peeled and cut into quarters
• 2 cups vegetable stock
• 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
• 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preparation:

1. Start by prepping the greens. Cut off the stems right where the leaf starts. 

2. Stack about 5-8 leaves, then roll them lengthwise. 

3. Cut rolled up leaves into 1-inch slices widthwise. Repeat until all the greens are done, and add to a large pot.

4. Add all ingredients except for the onion and stir. Once well mixed, nestle the onion quarters into the middle of the greens. 

5. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce heat to a simmer.

6. Simmer for 25-30 minutes or until greens are tender. 

7. Serve hot, using a slotted spoon or large fork to drain the liquid from the greens.
