Directions
Fil a large stockpot halfway with water, then add the vinegar, seafood seasoning, and a splash of olive oil. Bring everything to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, toss in the collard greens, jalapeño peppers, and garlic. Let it come back to a boil, then cover the pot, lower the heat to medium-low, and let it simmer gently. You’ll want to cook the greens until they’re really tender, which usually takes about 3 to 4 hours. When they’re soft and ready, drain out the water and mash the garlic cloves into the greens. Finally, season everything with salt and pepper to taste, and you’re good to go!
Serving Tips
These greens pair wonderfully with cornbread or a side of roasted sweet potatoes. You can also serve them over rice or quinoa for a complete, satisfying meal. A drizzle of hot sauce adds a nice kick for those who like a bit of heat.
How To Preserve This Dish
Store leftover collard greens in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave to keep them tender. Avoid freezing, as the texture may become mushy after thawing.
