Tasty Collard Greens

Collard greens are a southern staple, which is why it was rather ironic I began cooking them while living on Prince Edward Island.  This is my favorite method for cooking collard greens. I love the spiciness the jalapeno adds to the dish.  You can use a green or red jalapeno (I like the color).  Collard greens are a nice, healthy green side dish to add to any BBQ style meal. Happy, healthy cooking! Enjoy!

Tasty Collard Greens

Saute over medium heat:
2 Tbsp olive oil
1 onion, diced
1 red jalapeno, diced (remove seeds if you don't want it as spicy - the seeds are the spiciest part of the hot pepper)

Add and mix in:
1 lb collard greens, sliced and diced (with thicker stems removed)
2-3 cups GF chicken stock (homemade chicken broth/stock or Asian mushroom seasoning work well. I also like using a GF bouillon paste)

Bring to a boil, then cover and simmer at a lower heat for ~40 minutes.

Salt and pepper, to taste

A great accompaniment to any Southern-style meal, like BBQ Shrimp & Cheesy Grits, Homemade Pulled Pork & Cheesy Biscuits, an easy roast chicken from the grocery store, etc. Serve and Enjoy!
