Yield serves 4 to 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons canola oil
1 onion, preferably Vidalia, chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1 medium bunch collard greens (about 1 1/2 pounds), cleaned (see page 198), tough stems removed and discarded, and leaves very thinly sliced in chiffonade (see sidebar)
4 cups water
1 tablespoon smoked salt
2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar
Freshly ground black pepper
Hot Pepper Vinegar (page 284) for accompaniment

Steps:

  • Heat the oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until soft and translucent, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, 45 to 60 seconds. Add the greens, water, smoked salt, and apple cider vinegar. Season the mixture with pepper. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring to a boil. Decrease the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the greens are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Taste and adjust for seasoning with smoked salt and pepper. Serve immediately with the hot pepper vinegar on the side.
  • chiffonade
  • Chiffonade is a classic French technique that means thinly slicing an herb, such as basil, or a leafy vegetable, into strands or ribbons. To make chiffonade, stack the leaves one on top of the other, and roll them tightly into a cylinder. Using a chef's knife, slice the cylinder crosswise into thin strips.
