Ingredients

Servings:5
  • 1 lb Collard greens, stems removed and finely shredded
  • 2 cups Fresh okra, sliced into 1/2 inch rounds
  • 3 tbsp Niter Kibbeh (Ethiopian spiced clarified butter)
  • 1 medium Red onion, finely diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Berbere spice blend
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable broth
  • 1 tbsp Lemon juice
  • 1 tsp Salt

Instructions

  1. 1

    Melt the Niter Kibbeh in a large heavy-bottomed skillet or pot over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Add the diced onions and sauté for 8-10 minutes until they are soft and starting to caramelize.

  3. 3

    Stir in the garlic, ginger, and Berbere spice blend, toasting them for 2 minutes until highly fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the sliced okra to the pan and sauté for 5 minutes, allowing the edges to slightly brown and the slime to reduce.

  5. 5

    Toss in the shredded collard greens and stir well to coat every leaf in the spiced butter and okra mixture.

  6. 6

    Pour in the vegetable broth and salt, then cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid.

  7. 7

    Reduce heat to low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the greens are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated.

  8. 8

    Finish by stirring in the fresh lemon juice to brighten the flavors before serving hot with Injera.
