Smoky Vegetarian Collard Greens
Ingredients
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 large onion, halved and thinly sliced
  • 4 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 2 sprigs fresh thyme, leaves stripped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans chopped tomatoes
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon molasses
  • 1 tablespoon liquid smoke flavoring
  • 2 pounds collard greens, chopped
  • 1 1/2 cups cooked white beans
Instructions
1
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large cooking vessel over a moderate temperature until the butter has melted and is starting to develop a rich, caramelized flavor, approximately 1-2 minutes. Next, add the sliced onion and minced garlic to the pot; cook and stir constantly until the onion has lost its raw, pungent flavor and becomes translucent, around 5 minutes. Introduce the thyme sprigs and bay leaves into the mixture; continue to cook for another minute.

Now, add the chopped tomatoes, vegetable broth, brown sugar, molasses, and liquid smoke to the pot; bring the contents to a gentle simmer. Stir in the collard greens with care, ensuring they are not bruised or damaged during the process. Finally, lower the heat to a low setting and let the mixture simmer, covered, until it reaches your desired level of tenderness, approximately 30 minutes.
