Gomen (Ethiopian Collard Greens)
A flavorful and healthy side dish of braised collard greens, seasoned with garlic, ginger, and spices.
Ingredients
- about 450 g Collard greens
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Ginger
- 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1/4 cup Water
Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified.
Instructions
- 1Wash the about 450 g of collard greens and cut them into 2.54 cm pieces. Peel and finely chop the 1 medium onion. Mince the 3 cloves of garlic and the 1 teaspoon of ginger.
- 2Heat the 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, about 175°C.
- 3Add the chopped onion to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until it looks soft and see-through, about 5 minutes.
- 4Add the minced garlic and ginger to the pot. Cook, stirring constantly, until they smell fragrant, about 1 minute more.
- 5Add the collard greens, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper to the pot. Stir everything together well so the greens are coated.
- 6Pour in the 1/4 cup of water. Cover the pot tightly with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let it simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. The greens are tender when you can easily pierce them with a fork.
- 7Serve the Gomen hot as a side dish.
