Collard greens – Arguably a superfood, these dark leafy greens provide many health-boosting nutrients like vitamin A, C and K, calcium, iron and magnesium.

Make it a meal – Twitty recommends serving over rice, which provides complex carbohydrates for energy. Black-eyed peas, or barbecued chicken can complement with protein and more.

Ingredients

6 Tbsp olive oil
1 large red onion, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
1 very small hot pepper (or pinch red pepper flakes)
1 1/2 cups vegetable stock
2 pounds collard greens (or half kale)
3 bell peppers, seeded and thinly sliced (red, yellow and orange)
kosher salt (to taste)
