Traditional Ethiopian vegetarian dish. I've cut down the amount of oil that is used in the dish and added some different spices to complement the collards.

Time 1h10m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound collard greens - rinsed, trimmed and chopped
2 cups water
1 tablespoon olive oil
¾ cup chopped onions
8 cloves garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 ½ cups sliced green bell pepper
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon ground turmeric
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root

Steps:

  • Place chopped collard greens in a pot with 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low. Cover, and simmer until collards are tender, about 20 minutes. Drain, but reserve the cooking water. Set aside.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Stir in onions and cook until just beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook for 1 minute. Add the cooked collards, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and the reserved cooking water. Simmer, uncovered, over medium-high heat until liquid is nearly evaporated, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Add the green pepper slices, lemon juice, salt, turmeric, paprika, allspice, and ginger root. Cook until peppers are soft, about 5 minutes.

This recipe was a bit too spicy for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less berbere if you don't like spicy food.
