Technique to learn

Dry Steam Braising

Covering greens over low heat uses moisture released by the vegetables to cook them tender without adding liquid.

Instructions

Step 1: Heat the neutral cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat, add the chopped onion, and sauté for 5 minutes until soft.
Step 2: Add the garlic ginger paste and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3: Add the lean ground beef and salt, crumbling the meat with a wooden spoon for 6 to 8 minutes until fully browned.

Step 4: Stir in the ground black cardamom and spiced clarified butter substitute, coating the beef evenly.

Step 5: Add the sliced collard greens in small batches, stirring constantly until the greens wilt.

Step 6: Reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a tight-fitting lid, and simmer for 8 minutes until greens are tender.

Step 7: Remove lid, stir in sliced jalapeño rings, simmer for 1 final minute, and serve warm.

Cooking tips

Finely ribboning the collard greens ensures quick and even cooking in the skillet.
If black cardamom is unavailable, ground green cardamom mixed with a dash of nutmeg offers a great warm profile.
Original home-cooking adaptation inspired by Ethiopian; regional versions vary.
Use halal-certified meat, poultry, stock, sauces, cheese and other processed ingredients. Check labels and avoid cross-contamination. Recipe screening is not halal certification.
