"Eat Them Right Out of the Pot" Vegetarian Collard Greens

"Eat Them Right Out of the Pot" Vegetarian Collard Greens

I’ve been making collard greens for years but my newly vegetarian daughter won’t eat them prepared with the usual fatback used for seasoning anymore. I made this recipe up one afternoon and my family has been clamoring for these ever since!
Really great flavors that meld together over the entire cooking time. They really are so good. They try to eat them right out of the pot! Serve with some hot sauce and vinegar on the side with your favorite meal. I promise you won’t have any leftovers they are so good!

Ingredients

  • 4 cups water, or as needed
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

  • 2 small jalapeno peppers, diced
  • 3 cloves garlic, halved lengthwise, or more to taste
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Directions

Step 1
Fill a large stockpot halfway with water; add vinegar, seafood seasoning, and olive oil. Bring liquid to a boil.

Step 2
Mix collard greens, jalapeno peppers, and garlic into boiling water; return to a boil. Cover stockpot, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until greens are very tender, 3 to 4 hours.

Step 3
Drain water from greens and mash garlic cloves; season with salt and pepper.

Cook’s Note:

You can easily prepare more collards than this – just make sure there is more water in your pot.
