Ingredients
- 1 bunch collard greens
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 medium onion
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Start by washing the collard greens thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit.
Step 2
Stack the leaves on top of each other, roll them into a tight cigar-like shape, and cut them into thin strips (also known as chiffonading).
Step 3
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Finely chop the onion.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Add the minced garlic and chopped onion to the skillet. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Step 6
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the collard greens to the skillet.
Step 7
Season with sea salt and black pepper, then stir-fry the greens until they are tender but still bright green, about 5 minutes.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from the heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the collard greens.
Step 9
Toss everything together well to ensure the greens are evenly coated with the garlic and lemon juice.
Step 10
Serve immediately as a warm side dish or as a bed for grilled meats.
