Ingredients

Servings:5
  • 2 large bunches Collard greens, stems removed and finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup Niter Kibbeh (Ethiopian spiced clarified butter) or Oil
  • 1 large Red onion, finely diced
  • 2 tablespoons Berbere spice blend
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, grated
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable broth or water
  • 1 tablespoon Tomato paste
  • 1 teaspoon Salt(optional)
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon juice

Instructions

  1. 1

    In a large heavy-bottomed pot or dutch oven, melt the Niter Kibbeh over medium heat.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Stir in the garlic, ginger, and berbere spice blend, toasting the spices for 2 minutes until very fragrant.

  4. 4

    Add the tomato paste and stir constantly for 1 minute to incorporate it into the spice base.

  5. 5

    Gradually add the chopped collard greens in batches, tossing them with the spice mixture until they begin to wilt.

  6. 6

    Pour in the vegetable broth, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and reduce heat to low.

  7. 7

    Simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the greens are tender and the liquid has mostly evaporated.

  8. 8

    Finish by stirring in the lemon juice and adjusting salt to taste before serving with warm injera.
