Honey Balsamic Collard Greens


Ever since I had my first forkful of collard greens, I haven't turned back.  I still remember when I first tried them... the Marriott hotel lunch buffet next to one of my jobs.  Went out for lunch with coworkers, questioned what these green things reminiscent of spinach were, had a bite, and WAM, fell in love.  Now, I'm on a journey to find recipes that make collard greens likable by everyone!  

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small sweet onion, sliced
  • 1 lb collard greens, rinsed, trimmed, & chopped
  • 1/2 c. chicken broth
  • 2 Tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 2 Tbsp honey
  • 1 tsp grated ginger
  • 3 Tbsp melted butter

Instructions:

  1. In a medium saucepan/pot - over medium-high high, warm up EVOO
  2. Add in sliced onions and cook until translucent.  Turn down heat to low-medium.
  3. Add in greens and cook for just a few minutes until beginning to wilt.
  4. Add in broth and cook for about 5-8 minutes until all greens are wilted and tender.
  5. Add in remainder of ingredients and mix thoroughly
  6. Serve as a side dish, for example with steak and potatoes
