½ cup water
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger root
5 tablespoons melted butter
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Heat oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes.

Pour in water and cook, stirring occasionally, until bright green and tender, 5 to 7 minutes, regulating heat to prevent burning. Drain.

LEMONY SAUTEED COLLARD GREENS WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA

Lemony Sauteed Collard Greens with Smoked Paprika image

This is a tasty way to use collard greens. The smoked paprika really lends a lot of flavor to this yummy side dish, so it's best not to substitute regular paprika. Makes a great side for any Southern-themed meal, especially for vegetarians!
