Smoked Sausage and Collard Greens

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

  • 4 cups chopped collard greens, ribs removed

  • 1 cup sliced onions

  • 1 clove garlic, chopped

  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil

  • 1 cup broth, chicken or vegetable

  • 1/2 pound smoked sausage, sliced (beef, pork or turkey)

  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

  • 1 teaspoon sugar

  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Add onions and garlic, sauté for about 1 minute over medium high heat. Add collards and sauté for about 2 minutes to wilt greens.

  2. Dissolve sugar into vinegar and broth. Add mixture to greens. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 60 minutes until collards are tender. Stir in red pepper flakes. Remove collards and keep warm.

  3. Fry sausage pieces over medium heat in the same dutch oven, just until meat sweats and starts to brown, about 2 minutes. Return greens mixture, stir and heat thoroughly.
