Servings
4Serving size
about 1/2 cup greensThis recipe can easily be multiplied and leftovers are fair.
Ingredients
| 1 tsp. Olive oil |
| 1 medium White or yellow onions (diced) |
| 1 lb Collards, raw (washed well) |
| 2 Tbsp. Maple syrup |
| 1/8 tsp. Salt |
| 1/4 tsp. Ground nutmeg |

Instructions
Add the white onion and cook slowly for about 20 minutes until the onions are translucent. Stir frequently.
While the onions are cooking, wash the collards well. Remove the thick middle stem and discard, then slice the leaves into 1/2-inch-thick chiffonade.
Add the collard greens to the pan with the onions and toss.
As they begin to wilt, add the maple syrup, salt, nutmeg, and butter.
Cook until the collards are hot and wilted, but not to the point that they begin to lose their bright green color.
Serve.
