Ingredients

• 800 g Collard greens
• 2 Onions

Method

2. Boil first — Cook them in water for 20 minutes until tender, then drain.
3. Fry the base — Cook the onion dry, then add butter, garlic, ginger and chili.
4. Combine — Fold the greens through and cook 15 minutes so they absorb the spiced butter.
