Ingredients

For the Collard Greens

1 large bunch collard greens (about 1 lb), stems removed

1 small onion, diced (¼-inch pieces)

2 garlic cloves, freshly minced

½ cup vegetable broth

½ tsp salt

Black pepper, to taste

¼ tsp red chili flakes (optional)

For the Potatoes

¾ lb yellow potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

For Finishing

¼ cup nutritional yeast

Notes

Blanching the greens first removes bitterness and improves texture.

Nutritional yeast adds a savory, cheesy umami flavor without dairy.

Leave some potato texture for a hearty, rustic finish.

This dish tastes even better the next day.
