KICKIN' VEGETARIAN COLLARD GREENS



Kickin' Vegetarian Collard Greens image

Corn bread, black eyed peas, and collards are a New Year's Day tradition in the South - the corn bread represents gold, black-eyed peas coins, and collards match the green of US paper currency. Since leaving the South, where I grew up, for the Pacific NW, I've begun a tradition of hosting an open house-style brunch on New Year's day and this is my go-to recipe for this fun occasion.

EASY VEGETARIAN COLLARD GREENS



Easy Vegetarian Collard Greens image

This is a wonderful way to make delicious, tender, vegan collard greens. The smoked sweet paprika in these greens imparts a wonderful smoky flavor without the traditional but decidedly non-kosher and non-vegetarian smoked ham hock. Make sure the paprika you buy is smoked, as the regular kind won't give you that smoky flavor. Whatever you do, don't discard the pot liquor! It is full of the nutrients and flavor that have leached out of the greens during cooking, and makes a very full-bodied and rich broth you can use as a replacement for water when making rice (my favorite), as the base for soups or stews, or in any other savory dish that requires broth or water.

Categories     Collard Greens

Time 1h5m

Yield 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs collard greens
4 -5 garlic cloves, minced
1 large onion, chopped
3 cups vegetable stock
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1 teaspoon smoked sweet paprika
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
hot sauce (optional) or red pepper flakes (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash greens well, submerging in a sink full of cold water to remove any dirt and grit. Drain well. Cut off the stems right where the leaf starts. Stack about 5-8 leaves on top of eachother, then roll lengthwise. Cut rolled up leaves into 1" slices widthwise. Repeat until all the greens are done, and add to a large pot.
  • Add all other ingredients. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer for 45 minutes or until greens are extremely tender. Serve hot, using a slotted spoon to drain the liquid from the greens.

SMOKY VEGETARIAN BLACK-EYED PEAS WITH COLLARD GREENS



Smoky Vegetarian Black-Eyed Peas with Collard Greens image

I devised this recipe after a New Year's Day at a friend's house. She ate black-eyed peas for the good luck, not because she liked them! I challenged myself to come up with something not only edible, but delicious and nutritious as well! It's also deceptively simple (especially if you sub canned black-eyed peas for dried). I hope you like the results! This is delicious as-is or served over brown rice.

TANGY 'N' SPICY VEGETARIAN COLLARD GREENS



Tangy 'n' Spicy Vegetarian Collard Greens image

These greens definitely have a kick. They're a perfect mixture of spice, veggies, herbs, and smoke, without the meat. They've got an edgy spice to them that authentic Caribbean and Mexican-cuisine lovers will enjoy. Even better, they're good for you - without the meat, without the fat, and without all the salt. For this recipe, use a regular eating spoon as your "teaspoon," and make all of your tablespoons slightly heaping (and slightly overflowing, for your tablespooned liquids). Enjoy!

VEGETARIAN COLLARD GREENS



Vegetarian Collard Greens image

Southern-style collard greens get their signature richness from being braised with ham hocks or bacon. For a meatless flavor boost, use an umami-packed Parmesan rind instead (find one made without rennet for a strictly vegetarian version). The rind will hold its shape as the greens simmer, so you can remove it from the pot in one piece when done.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Parmesan rind (3 to 4 inches long)

Pinch red-pepper flakes, or more to taste
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Hot sauce, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • In a large pot, combine Parmesan rind, collard greens, red-pepper flakes, and 8 cups water; bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, and cook until collards are very tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Remove Parmesan rind, and discard. Add vinegar, and season with salt and pepper. Serve collards with their broth, and, if desired, hot sauce.
