Vegan Southern Style Collard Greens
Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 8 bunches collard greens whole leaves (washed and stems removed)
- 2 tbsp avacado oil (or preferred oil)
- 1/2 yellow onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic diced
- 1/2 large red bell pepper diced
- 1/2 green bell pepper diced
- 4 tsp Vegan Ham Broth Base
- 2 tsp granulated garlic
- 32 oz vegetable broth
- 1.5 cups water
- 2 tsp liquid smoke
Instructions
- Wash greens thoroughly and remove stems then cut leaves into bite size strips or squares and set aside.
- In a large stock pot, heat about 2 tsp of oil (I prefer avocado) and sauté the chopped onion, garlic and bell pepper until onions are translucent.
- To the same pot, add in 4 tsp of the vegan ham broth base and 1 tsp of granulated garlic (or garlic powder) and allow the broth base to absorb any liquid in the pot. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Once the liquid is absorbed, add 4 cups (one 32 oz container) of vegetable broth, 1.5 cups of water and 2 tsp of liquid smoke (I prefer hickory) to pot.
- Bring the contents of the pot to a simmer. At this point, you add salt and pepper to taste.
- Add greens to simmering broth mixture and allow to simmer for at least an hour covered, stirring occasionally until greens are tender.
