Collard Greens & Browned Onions

Tender collard green leaves and caramelized onions

Ingredients:

1 1⁄2 pounds collard greens

1⁄4 cup olive oil

2 medium onions, peeled and sliced into half rings

1 (1 inch) piece of ginger, peeled and grated

1 1⁄4 teaspoons salt, to taste

water as needed

Ingredients:

1 1⁄2 pounds collard greens

1⁄4 cup olive oil

2 medium onions, peeled and sliced into half rings

1 (1 inch) piece of ginger, peeled and grated

1 1⁄4 teaspoons salt, to taste

water as needed

Directions:

Remove the coarse stalks and central rib from all of the collard leaves and cut them cross-wise into very fine ribbons.

Put the oil in a large, wide pot and set over medium heat. When hot, add the onions and 1⁄2 tsp salt. Cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are a medium brown color, about 10-15 minutes.

Add the ginger. Stir and cook 1 minute.

Add the greens and 1⁄2 tsp salt, mixing well to thoroughly coat the greens with the hot oil. Add a little water to keep it from sticking.

Cover, turn the heat down to medium-low and cook for 5 – 10 minutes, or until the greens are very tender. Taste and adjust seasoning with remaining salt, if necessary.
