T. Colin Campbell Center for Nutrition Studies

Ingredients

  • 1 bunch collard greens, stems removed
  • 1 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 4-5 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1½ tsp pure maple syrup
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  • 1. Stack 4 or 5 collard leaves. Roll the leaves tightly into a long tube. Hold the tube tightly with one hand while you cut very thin crosswise slices with the other. The smaller the cut, the more tender the collards will be ¼-inch thick ribbons is ideal. Repeat with the remaining collard leaves.
  • 2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, sauté the onion and garlic in a small amount of water until the onion begins to soften and caramelize, about 8 minutes. Add the collards, vinegar, maple syrup, paprika, salt, and pepper and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, just until wilted and bright green. Serve warm.
