Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 sweet onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 4 cups organic chicken broth
• 1 1-lb bag collard greens washed, trimmed, and chopped
• 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
• 1 tsp sea salt
• 12 oz gluten-free ham diced
• 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

 

• In a large Dutch oven pot, add all of the ingredients except for the apple cider vinegar. As the mixture heats up, stir around the greens and they will begin to wilt.
• Cook the mixture over medium heat for about 1 hour.
• After 1 hour, stir in the apple cider vinegar and continue to cook for another hour to an hour and a half, until the greens are tender.
• Taste the greens for salt and add red pepper flakes for a kick of spice. Enjoy!

Notes

*Instead of a ham hock, we love using diced ham to make this dish a quick and easy cook. We used Frick’s gluten free ham from our local market.
