Ye'abesha Gomen (Collard Greens) image

The abundant use of leafy greens is one of the hallmarks of the food of the African continent in general. Here, the familiar collard green, which has become emblematic of African-American cooking, is given an Ethiopian twist in a dish that can be served either warm or at room temperature

Categories     Collard Greens

Time 55m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb collard greens
2 cups water
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 teaspoon garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
salt, to taste
3 medium anaheim chilies, cut into thin strips

Steps:

  • Wash the greens thoroughly. Remove any discolored spots and cut out any thick woody stems. Place the greens in a heavy saucepan with 1 cup of the water, cover, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, or until the greens are tender. When ready, drain the greens, reserving the liquid, and cut them into small pieces.
  • In a heavy skillet, heat the oil and cook the onions until they are lightly browned. Add the greens, the reserved and remaining 1 cup water, the garlic, and the ginger and cook, uncovered, until almost dry. Add the chiles and cook for an additional 5 minutes. Serve either warm or at room temperature.
