BEER BRAISED COLLARD GREENS

 

Try my recipe for beer braised collard greens. A twist I love to put on them. You will love it.

 

Ingredients:

2 tbl olive oil

1 medium onion

2 cloves garlic

12 oz beer (a beer like Coors' Blue Moon works, or a Belgian White)

2 cups vegetable broth (or 1-2 bouillon cubes with 2 cups water)

1 lb collard greens

1 tbl  brown sugar

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

Cracked black pepper to taste

 

Chop the onion and chop the garlic. Cook in a big pot of olive oil over medium heat until softened. Wash the greens of collar and cut the roots. Break the mixture into 2 inch bits. Add liquor, vegetable broth, collar greens, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and black pepper to the bath. Place the lid on top and let the pot boil. When the pot starts to simmer, stir it all and put the lid back on top. Decrease heat to low and simmer until the collards are as soft as you want (it can be about 20 minutes and 2 hours). Mix in every 15 minutes or so. Love it!
