How to Make Collard Greens

Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold water. Chop the greens into bite-sized pieces for even cooking.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add your onions for sauté.
Sauté the chopped onion for about 5 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute.
Add the chopped collard greens to the skillet and stir well to combine.
Pour in the vegetable broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Cover the skillet and let the collard greens cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Finish by stirring in apple cider vinegar, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
