Slow-Cooked Collard Greens

Ingredients

  • ½ cup McEvoy Ranch Extra Virgin Olive Oil, plus more for drizzling

  • 8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 2 bunches collard greens, ribs and stems removed, leaves torn into 2” pieces
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon (or more) apple cider vinegar
  • Generous pinch of sugar

Instructions

  1. Heat ½ cup oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Cook garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring often, until garlic is golden, about 4 minutes.

  2. Add collard greens to saucepan a handful at a time, stirring until each addition is wilted before adding the next.

  3. Season with salt and add 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat so mixture is at a very gentle simmer. Cover and cook, occasionally removing lid to stir, until greens are tender and very dark green, 1-1-½ hours.

  4. Let cool slightly, then stir vinegar and sugar into the greens.

  5. Transfer to a serving bowl and drizzle with more oil and a splash more of vinegar if desired.
