These silky, long-cooked collard greens are fortified by a base of shallots and tomato paste and brightened by the addition of fresh ginger. The result is rich yet light, bringing the collards’ vegetal flavor to the forefront. Serve as a side dish or as the main attraction, with cornbread alongside to soak up the braising liquid.

Tip

Don’t rush the cooking time. Cooked slowly over low heat, the collards become meltingly tender.

Great depth of flavor
I was surprised at how wonderful the braising liquid tasted with so few ingredients in this recipe. Mine was significantly more liquid than the photo - I might advise reducing the amount of water added. I kept it on a heavy simmer with the lid off for over 50 minutes. I used one “bunch” of collard greens. It all worked out deliciously and went surprisingly well with the leftover Miso Gochujang Pork that I had. I would not have expected that either, but they were fabulous together.
