Ingredients

  • 3 quarts of fresh water
  • 6 cubes of savory chicken bouillon

  • A teaspoon each of black pepper and salt for seasoning
  • Enhance with 1 ½ teaspoons each of garlic and ginger powder
  • Finish with a bunch of collard greens, washed, trimmed, and chopped

Step 1

In a large pot, mix together water, flavorful bouillon cubes, freshly chopped onion, minced garlic, a dash of pepper, a pinch of salt, aromatic garlic powder, and a hint of ginger powder. Let the mixture come to a boil over high heat. Next, gently add the collard greens and bring it back to a boil.

Finally, strain the flavorful concoction and serve it up for a delightful dining experience. A tip to enhance the dish: consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick of flavor!

  2. 2. Invest in high-quality airtight containers to store your collard greens and ginger. This will help preserve the freshness and prevent any odors from mixing with your ingredients.
